Free-living protozoa in two unchlorinated drinking water supplies identified by phylogenic analysis of 18S rRNA gene sequences [PDF]
, 2009 Free-living protozoan communities in water supplies may include hosts for Legionella pneumophila and other undesired bacteria and also pathogens. This study aimed at identifying free-living protozoa in two unchlorinated groundwater supplies using ...

Copper Metabolism in Naegleria gruberi and Its Deadly Relative Naegleria fowleri
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Although copper is an essential nutrient crucial for many biological processes, an excessive concentration can be toxic and lead to cell death. The metabolism of this two-faced metal must be strictly regulated at the cell level. In this study, we investigated copper homeostasis in two related unicellular organisms: nonpathogenic Naegleria gruberi and ...

Rediscovery of Good-Turing estimators via Bayesian nonparametrics [PDF]
, 2015 The problem of estimating discovery probabilities originated in the context of statistical ecology, and in recent years it has become popular due to its frequent appearance in challenging applications arising in genetics, bioinformatics, linguistics ...

Insights into the origin of metazoan filopodia and microvilli. [PDF]
, 2013 Filopodia are fine actin-based cellular projections used for both environmental sensing and cell motility, and they are essential organelles for metazoan cells. In this study, we reconstruct the origin of metazoan filopodia and microvilli.

Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria gruberi 20S proteasome: identification and characterization
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2020 The Naegleria are ubiquitous free-living amoebae and are characterized by the presence of three phases in their biological cycle: trophozoite, cyst and flagellate. Of this genus, only Naegleria fowleri has been reported as pathogenic to humans. The proteasome is a multi-catalytic complex and is considered to be the most important structure responsible ...

Draft Chromosome Sequences of a Clinical Isolate of the Free-Living Ameba Naegleria fowleri
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2021 We present the chromosome sequences of a Naegleria fowleri isolate from a human primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) case. The genome sequences were assembled from Illumina HiSeq and PacBio sequencing data and verified with the optical mapping data ...

Distribution of Naegleria fowleri in Selected Northeast Arkansas Lakes [PDF]
, 1980 Seven northeast Arkansas recreational lakes were examined for the presence of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Naegleria fowleri. Cultural differentiation and microscopic morphology were used as species determining tests, while mouse pathogenicity tests were
