Isolation of Acanthamoeba isolates belonging to T2, T3, T4 and T7 genotypes from environmental samples in Ankara, Turkey [PDF]
, 2004 Acanthamoeba keratitis is a blinding infection that is becoming increasingly important in human health. Early diagnosis is a prerequisite for successful treatment and requires identification of Acanthamoeba at the genotypic level.

Encystation:the most prevalent and underinvestigated differentiation pathway of eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2018 Not long ago, protists were considered one of four eukaryote kingdoms, but recent gene-based phylogenies show that they contribute to all nine eukaryote subdomains.

Structural characterization of the Sel1‐like repeat protein LceB from Legionella pneumophila
Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2024.Abstract Legionella are freshwater Gram‐negative bacteria that in their normal environment infect protozoa. However, this adaptation also allows Legionella to infect human alveolar macrophages and cause pneumonia. Central to Legionella pathogenesis are more than 330 secreted effectors, of which there are nine core effectors that are conserved in all ...

Burkholderia pseudomallei Adaptation for Survival in Stressful Conditions
BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram‐negative bacterium that causes melioidosis, which can be fatal in humans. Melioidosis is prevalent in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Ecological data have shown that this bacterium can survive as a free‐living organism in environmental niches, such as soil and water, as well as a ...

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
, 2010 This contribution presents an updated analysis of the evolution of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in plants. All evidence suggests that an ancestor of modern seed plants developed the RIP domain at least 300 million years ago.

Grazing preferences of three species of amoebae on cyanobacteria and green algae
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 2, March/April 2024.Abstract Twenty species/isolates of cyanobacteria and green algae were isolated from cyanobacterial bloom samples in lakes associated with the upper Qu'Appelle River drainage system in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Three amoebae species (Cochliopodium sp., Vannella sp.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 773-788, July 2017., 2017 Summary It is unclear how the water‐based pathogen, Legionella pneumophila (Lp), and associated free‐living amoeba (FLA) hosts change or are changed by the microbial composition of drinking water (DW) biofilm communities. Thus, this study characterized the bacterial community structure over a 7‐month period within mature (> 600‐day‐old) copper DW ...

Нові знахідки голих амеб у водоймах Сумської області [PDF]
, 2017 Голі амеби населяють практично усі існуючі водні і наземні екотопи. Представники цієї групи були виявлені навіть у ґрунтах термальних джерел Нової Зеландії. Поширення амеб вивчено дуже слабко.
