Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.Free‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.

Naegleria Fowleri - Prevention is the best cure
Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association, 2023 Respected Editor, With the temperatures rising every summer and the quality of water deteriorating in Pakistan and specially Karachi the ‘brain-eating amoeba’ Naegleria fowleri was on rise during this summer too. 6 cases of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) caused by N.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Several distantly related, deep‐branching lineages within the eukaryotic tree of life share what is known as the “typical excavate” morphology. This cell architecture includes a suspension‐feeding ventral groove, supported by complex and specific structures of the cytoskeleton, and a vane‐bearing posterior flagellum.

A giant virus infecting the amoeboflagellate Naegleria
Nature CommunicationsGiant viruses (Nucleocytoviricota) are significant lethality agents of various eukaryotic hosts. Although metagenomics indicates their ubiquitous distribution, available giant virus isolates are restricted to a very small number of protist and algal ...

Cancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Background The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is commonly deregulated in different types of cancers, contributing to tumor proliferation, persistence, and resistance to treatment. Akt1, a crucial kinase within this pathway, plays a critical role in tumor progression and the occurrence of therapeutic resistance.

Luminal Phospholipase D Attacks Bacterial Membranes in Dictyostelium discoideum Phagosomes
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 54-65, July 2025.This study shows that PldX, a luminal Phospholipase D, is necessary for the efficient destruction of ingested Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in Dictyostelium discoideum phagosomes. PldX and the AlyL lysozyme together attack the bacterial membrane and permeabilize it. To date, the molecular substrate of PldX remains to be determined. ABSTRACT Phagocytic
