A Nonmitochondrial Hydrogen Production in Naegleria gruberi [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2014
Naegleria gruberi is a free-living heterotrophic aerobic amoeba well known for its ability to transform from an amoeba to a flagellate form. The genome of N. gruberi has been recently published, and in silico predictions demonstrated that Naegleria has the capacity for both aerobic respiration and anaerobic biochemistry to produce molecular hydrogen in

Naegleria fowleri

Definitions, 2020
Naegleria fowleri is a thermophilic (warmth loving) ameba that occurs naturally in the environment worldwide. It is commonly found in warm bodies of fresh water, such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and hot springs. It may also be present in soil, in warm water

Emerging therapies against Naegleria fowleri

Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs
Introduction Naegleria fowleri is a free-living protist pathogen. Given the opportunity, it can produce infection of the central nervous system. It is distressing that the brain-eating amoebae, Naegleria fowleri remains one of the lethal parasites ...

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 ...

Naegleria fowleri Detected in Grand Teton National Park Hot Springs

ACS ES&T water
The free-living thermophilic amoeba Naegleria fowleri (N. fowleri) causes the highly fatal disease primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. The environmental conditions that are favorable to the growth and proliferation of N.

First report of free-living amoebae in watercourses in southern Brazil: molecular diagnosis and phylogenetic analysis of Vermamoeba vermiformis, Naegleria gruberi, and Acanthamoeba spp.

Journal of Water and Health, 2023
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are protozoa dispersed in different environments and are responsible for different infections caused to humans and other animals. Microorganisms such as Acanthamoeba spp., Vermamoeba sp., and Naegleria sp.

Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.
