Accurate and Sensitive Detection of Microbial Eukaryotes From Whole Metagenome Shotgun Sequencing

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2021
Background Microbial eukaryotes are found alongside bacteria and archaea in natural microbial systems, including host-associated microbiomes. While microbial eukaryotes are critical to these communities, they are challenging to study with shotgun ...

Microbial Eukaryotes in an Arctic Under-Ice Spring Bloom North of Svalbard [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Microbial eukaryotes can play prominent roles in the Arctic marine ecosystem, but their diversity and variability is not well known in the ice-covered ecosystems.

Cosmopolitan Metapopulations of Free-Living Microbial Eukaryotes

Protist, 2004
Metapopulations of macroscopic organisms tend to be geographically restricted, but free-living protists and other microbial eukaryotes present a different picture. Here we show that most organisms smaller than 1 mm occur worldwide wherever their required habitats are realised.

Microbial Eukaryote Species

Science, 2002
In his viewpoint “global dispersal of free-living microbial eukaryote species” (Environmental Microbiology Special Issue, 10 May, p. [1061][1]), B. J. Finlay suggests that there are a limited number of microbial eukaryote species (in the sense of recognizable morphologies) and that most of them are worldwide in distribution. The catch comes in assuming

Microbial Eukaryotes Associated With Sediments in Deep-Sea Cold Seeps

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Microbial eukaryotes are key components of the marine food web, but their distribution in deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems has not been well studied. Here, high-throughput sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene and network analysis were applied to investigate

Horizontal Gene Transfer Between Microbial Eukaryotes

open access: yes, 2009
Comparative genomics have identified two loosely defined classes of genes: widely distributed core genes that encode proteins for central functions in the cell and accessory genes that are patchily distributed across lineages and encode taxa-specific functions.

Microbial Eukaryotes: A Missing Link in Gut Microbiome Studies.

open access: yesMSystems, 2018
Human-associated microbial communities include prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms across high-level clades of the tree of life. While advances in high-throughput sequencing technology allow for the study of diverse lineages, the vast majority of ...

Vertical Distribution of Microbial Eukaryotes From Surface to the Hadal Zone of the Mariana Trench

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Marine microbial eukaryotes are ubiquitous, comprised of phylogenetically diverse groups and play key roles in microbial food webs and global biogeochemical cycling. However, their vertical distribution in the deep sea has received little attention.

The voyage of the microbial eukaryote

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2010
Although genome data from unicellular marine eukaryotes is sparse, sequences from several supergroups have initiated an era of genome-enabled research aimed at understanding gene function, evolution, and adaptation in non-traditional model protists. Trends in genomic content within and between different lineages are emerging, including phylogenetically

Microbial Eukaryotes that Lack Sterols

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2017
AbstractIt is widely held that sterols are key cyclic triterpenoid lipids in eukaryotic cell membranes and are synthesized through oxygen‐dependent multienzyme pathways. However, there are known exceptions―ciliated protozoans, such as Tetrahymena, along with diverse low‐oxygen‐adapted eukaryotes produce, instead of sterols, the cyclic triterpenoid ...
