Chromosome-level genome assembly of the sacoglossan sea slug Elysia timida (Risso, 1818) [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Sequencing and annotating genomes of non-model organisms helps to understand genome architecture, the genetic processes underlying species traits, and how these genes have evolved in closely-related taxa, among many other biological processes.

Provision of phosphates by the host supports kleptoplast functionality in photosynthetic sea slugs

bioRxiv
Phosphorus and nitrogen are two fundamental macronutrients needed for photosynthesis, and their balance in photosymbiotic relationships, like those between corals and their zooxanthellae, is known to be highly important for maintaining a healthy ...

Cascading effects of prey identity on gene expression in a kleptoplastidic ciliate. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol, 2023
Abstract Kleptoplastidic, or chloroplast stealing, lineages transiently retain functional photosynthetic machinery from algal prey. This machinery, and its photosynthetic outputs, must be integrated into the host's metabolism, but the details of this integration are poorly understood.

Metabolic Adaptations of Benthic Forams: Foraminiferal Species Adaptations to Intertidal Mudflat Assessed by a Metabolic Approach. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT Benthic foraminifera are characterized by their rapid response and high resistance to variable and extreme conditions such as those typically found in intertidal environments. However, knowledge of cellular and metabolic adaptations by foraminifera remains incomplete.

What makes Elysia viridis tick? Fitness consequences of diet selection and kleptoplasty. [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding the mechanisms involved in resource use by an organism is pivotal to understanding its ecology. A conspecific population that as a whole demonstrates a generalist pattern of resource use may in fact consist of relatively specialized individuals.

In situ imaging of a kleptoplastidic ciliate thin layer indicates traditional sampling underestimates oceanic mixotroph biomass [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment
Planktonic mixotrophs, including ciliates, are abundant, yet understudied, mediators of primary and secondary production in aquatic food webs. Here, we report high-resolution in situ observations of a thin layer—a vertically limited patch of high ...

Hidden aliens: Application of digital PCR to track an exotic foraminifer across the Skagerrak (North Sea) correlates well with traditional morphospecies analysis

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2321-2337, November 2023., 2023
This study reports for the first‐time the application of a digital PCR (dPCR) assay to target an alien species of a free‐living unicellular non‐pathogenic Eukaryote belonging to Foraminifera (Rhizaria). The number of DNA copies from our species‐specific dPCR assay highly correlates with morphospecies counts thus picking up the DNA signal from organisms
