Diversity and interdomain networks of bacterial, pico-protist and nano-protist communities in a marine ranching [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyMicrobes of diverse sizes and classifications collaborate to mediate a variety of biogeochemical processes. Although seasonal fluctuations in environmental variables generally influence microbial community dynamics, our comprehension of interdomain ...

Marine Protists Are Not Just Big Bacteria [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 The study of marine microbial ecology has been completely transformed by molecular and genomic data: after centuries of relative neglect, genomics has revealed the surprising extent of microbial diversity and how microbial processes transform ocean and global ecosystems.

High-resolution monitoring of marine protists based on an observation strategy integrating automated on-board filtration and molecular analyses [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2016 Information on recent biomass distribution and biogeography of photosynthetic marine protists with adequate temporal and spatial resolution is urgently needed to better understand the consequences of environmental change for marine ecosystems.

Animals, protists and bacteria share marine biogeographic patterns [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021 Over millennia, ecological and evolutionary mechanisms have shaped macroecological patterns across the tree of life. Research describing these patterns at both regional and global scales has traditionally focused on the study of metazoan species. Consequently, there is a limited understanding of cross-phylum biogeographic structuring and an escalating ...

Trade-Offs between Competitive Ability and Resistance to Top-Down Control in Marine Microbes
mSystems, 2023 Trade-offs between competitive ability and resistance to top-down control manifest the “kill-the-winner” hypothesis that explains how mortality caused by protists and viruses can promote bacterial diversity.

A global overview of the trophic structure within microbiomes across ecosystems
Environment International, 2021 The colossal project of mapping the microbiome on Earth is rapidly advancing, with a focus on individual microbial groups. However, a global assessment of the associations between predatory protists and their bacterial prey is still missing at a cross ...

Protist impacts on marine cyanovirocell metabolism
ISME Communications, 2022 Abstract The fate of oceanic carbon and nutrients depends on interactions between viruses, prokaryotes, and unicellular eukaryotes (protists) in a highly interconnected planktonic food web. To date, few controlled mechanistic studies of these interactions exist, and where they do, they are largely pairwise, focusing either on viral ...

Microorganisms, 2022 Protists are a dominant group in marine microplankton communities and play important roles in energy flux and nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems. Environmental sequences produced by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods are increasingly used for ...
