Did terrestrial diversification of amoebas (amoebozoa) occur in synchrony with land plants? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Evolution of lineage diversification through time is an active area of research where much progress has been made in the last decade. Contrary to the situation in animals and plants little is known about how diversification rates have evolved in most ...

Phylogeny of Physarida (Amoebozoa, Myxogastria) Based on the Small-Subunit Ribosomal RNA Gene, Redefinition of Physarum pusillum s. Str. And Reinstatement of P. Gravidum Morgan [PDF]

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2020
Abstract Myxomycetes (also called Myxogastria or colloquially, slime molds) are worldwide occurring soil amoeboflagellates. Among Amoebozoa, they have the notable characteristic to form, during their life cycle, macroscopic fruiting bodies, that will ultimately release spores.

Life cycle strategies in free‐living unicellular eukaryotes: Diversity, evolution, and current molecular tools to unravel the private life of microorganisms [PDF]

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract An astonishing range of morphologies and life strategies has arisen across the vast diversity of protists, allowing them to thrive in most environments. In model protists, like Tetrahymena, Dictyostelium, or Trypanosoma, life cycles involving multiple life stages with different morphologies have been well characterized.

New species, new records, and common species of Diderma (Physarales, Didymiaceae) from China [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Myxomycetes are fungus-like organisms that play a significant role in ecological processes, however, their taxonomic diversity and distribution in China are poorly understood.

A Non‐Flagellated Member of the Myxogastria and Expansion of the Echinosteliida

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2018
Abstract Myxogastria (also called Myxomycetes or plasmodial slime‐moulds) are mostly known through their usually conspicuous fruiting bodies. Another unifying trait is the presence of a facultative flagellate stage along with the obligate amoeboid stage.

New insights into the phylogeny of the dark-spored Myxomycetes (Amoebozoa: Conosa: Myxogastria: Fuscisporidia) and polyphyly of the genus Stemonitis

Systematics and Biodiversity, 2020
About a thousand described species of Myxomycetes, colloquially named slime moulds, are present in most terrestrial habitats. Molecular environmental sampling has revealed that a significant proportion of sequences could not be assigned to known species, with some specific groups showing a high hidden diversity.

Critical revision of type material of Stemonitales (Myxogastria) at the Natural History Museum London (BM)

Phytotaxa, 2018
For the first time both Light- and Scanning Electron Microscopy are aplied to re-assess diagnostic characters of type specimens for selected Stemonitales kept in the collections of the Natural History Museum London (BM). The results are used to revise published data and the type status is discussed for specimens of Amaurochaete comata G.

First Report of a New Myxogastria (Stemonaria longa) Causing Rot Disease on Shiitake Logs (Lentinula edodes) in China

Plant Disease, 2018
The shiitake mushroom, Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, is widely cultivated and managed throughout China, with some of the highest yields occurring in Henan province. The shiitake mushroom is one of the most important edible mushrooms in China, and many large-scale farmers in Asia and other parts of the world also grow and trade the crop.
