Genetic Diversity of Microbial Eukaryotes in the Pelagic and Littoral Zones of Lake Taihu, China [PDF]
Genetic diversity of microbial eukaryotes (0.8-20 μm) and its seasonal variation in the pelagic and littoral zones were investigated from in Meiliang Bay of Lake Taihu in China. The water samples were collected in four seasons (February, May, August, and

Single-cell transcriptomics for microbial eukaryotes [PDF]
One of the greatest hindrances to a comprehensive understanding of microbial genomics, cell biology, ecology, and evolution is that most microbial life is not in culture. Solutions to this problem have mainly focused on whole-community surveys like metagenomics, but these analyses inevitably loose information and present particular challenges for ...

Sex is a hallmark of eukaryotes but its evolution in microbial eukaryotes is poorly elucidated. Recent genomic studies revealed microbial eukaryotes possess a genetic toolkit necessary for sexual reproduction. However, the mechanism of sexual development

Time to regulate microbial eukaryote nomenclature [PDF]
Nomenclature of microbial eukaryotes has been historically relegated to secondary importance. This is a legacy of the traditional classification of life into the most studied multicellular forms (plants fungi and animals). Despite the revolution in an understanding of eukaryotic diversity and relationships that has been achieved as a result of the use ...

Soil Microbial Networks Shift Across a High-Elevation Successional Gradient. [PDF]
While it is well established that microbial composition and diversity shift along environmental gradients, how interactions among microbes change is poorly understood.

Giant Virus-Eukaryote Interactions as Ecological and Evolutionary Driving Forces
Giant DNA viruses of eukaryotes are notable for their extraordinary genome size and coding capacity. Once thought to be oddities in the virus world, these elusive microbes have turned out to be widely occurring in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ...

Nitrogen and phosphorus limitation of oceanic microbial growth during spring in the Gulf of Aqaba [PDF]
Bioassay experiments were performed to identify how growth of key groups within the microbial community was simultaneously limited by nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) availability during spring in the Gulf of Aqaba's oceanic waters.
