Abstract Introduction Fungal plant pathogens are an emerging threat to economically important crop production worldwide and a significant risk to global food security. However, we have limited knowledge of how agricultural management practices drive the emergence and spread of pathogens within crop microbiomes and the underlying ecological mechanisms ...

Free‐Living Amoebas in Extreme Environments: The True Survival in our Planet
Free‐living amoebas (FLAs) are microorganisms, unicellular protozoa widely distributed in nature and present in different environments, such as water or soil; they are maintained in ecosystems and play a fundamental role in the biological control of bacteria, other protozoa, and mushrooms.

Antimicrobial Agents Based on Metal Complexes: Present Situation and Future Prospects
The rise in antimicrobial resistance is a cause of serious concern since the ages. Therefore, a dire need to explore new antimicrobial entities that can combat against the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance is realized. Studies have shown that the activity of the strongest antibiotics has reduced drastically against many microbes such as ...

Summary Amoebae interact with bacteria in multifaceted ways. Amoeba predation can serve as a selective pressure for the development of bacterial virulence traits. Bacteria may also adapt to life inside amoebae, resulting in symbiotic relationships. Indeed, particular lineages of obligate bacterial endosymbionts have been found in different amoebae ...

The Important Role of Metal Ions for Survival of Francisella in Water within Amoeba Environment
Francisella tularensis is a gram‐negative facultative intracellular bacterium that resists harsh environments. Several outbreaks of tularemia are linked to the consumption and contact with spring water. The number of F. tularensis in some waters is high, while in others, this bacterium does not survive.

The Cyst Wall Composition of Hartmannella glebae
In this study cyst walls of Hartmannella glebae were isolated and quantitatively analyzed. They were fractionated into alkali-insoluble and alkali-soluble fractions. The alkali-insoluble fraction appeared to be cellulose which represented 4.2% of the total weight of the wall.

Lysosomal Activity and its Control in Encysting Hartmannella castellanii [PDF]
SUMMARY: A latent, non-specific phosphatase of Hartmannella castellanii with an optimum pH of 4·0 has been investigated. The latency could be released in cell-free homogenates by treatment with Triton x 100, freezing and thawing, refrigeration or carbon tetrachloride.
