Diversity of apostome ciliates, Chromidina spp. (Oligohymenophorea, Opalinopsidae), parasites of cephalopods of the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Parasite, 2016
Chromidina spp. are enigmatic apostome ciliates (Oligohymenophorea, Opalinopsidae) that parasitise the renal and pancreatic appendages of cephalopods. Only four species have been described, among which only three have been formally named. No DNA sequence

Reevaluation of the phylogenetic relationship between Mobilid and Sessilid peritrichs (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) based on small subunit rRNA genes sequences [PDF]

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2006
Based on morphological characters, peritrich ciliates (Class Olygohymenophorea, Subclass Peritrichia) have been subdivided into the Orders Sessilida and Mobilida.

Genetic Features of the Scuticociliate Pathogen Philaster sp. Isolate FWC2 That Causes Sea Urchin Mass Mortality. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT A scuticociliate most closely related to Philaster apodigitiformis caused mass mortalities of diadematoid sea urchins and was cultured as Philaster sp. isolate FWC2. We sequenced the metagenomic content of this isolate, which was predicted to represent ≤ 56% of the complete genome.

Environmental RNA-Based Metatranscriptomics as a Novel Biomonitoring Tool: A Case Study of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Effects on Freshwater Eukaryotic Communities. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Traditional morphology‐ and molecular‐based biodiversity surveys provide essential information on species composition and diversity, but they rarely provide information about the physiological states of organisms, which are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Comparative genomics reveals details into the metabolism of peritrich ciliates (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea and Peritrichia). [PDF]

Microb Genom
The subclass Peritrichia encompasses over 1,000 species of ciliates, demonstrating both wide distribution and significant morphological diversity across aquatic environments. Despite their ecological significance and unique biological attributes, genomic information for peritrichs has remained sparse.

Isolation and Characterisation of Serotype III in Miamiensis avidus (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida) From Olive Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Miamiensis avidus (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida, syn. Philasterides dicentrarchi) is a significant pathogen causing scuticociliatosis in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Korea and Japan. In this study, the BB19 strain, isolated from olive flounder, was identified as M.

Morphology and Molecular Phylogeny of Endosymbiotic Ciliates (Peritrichia, Mobilida) of Marine Invertebrates with Descriptions of Two Novel Species Urceolaria clepsydra n. sp. and Urceolaria bratalia n. sp. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT Mobilid ciliates are a morphologically distinct group of protists that form a wide range of symbiotic relationships with aquatic animals and includes three subgroups: Trichodinidae, Urceolariidae, and Polycyclidae. Trichodinids are best known for infecting fishes, whereas urceolariids infect diverse marine invertebrates.

A Pilot Investigation of the Hidden Communities Associated With Dryas octopetala L. (Rosaceae) in Svalbard Using DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
A single marker revealed a considerable diversity of organisms associate with Dryas octopetala. The rhizosphere contains more taxa than the phyllosphere. Some taxa are cited for the first time in the Svalbard Archipelago. The use of different DNA marker will increase diversity data in the Svalbard Archipelago.

Development of a Real-Time PCR Assay for Noninvasive Detection of Miamiensis avidus in Olive Flounder Aquaculture. [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Miamiensis avidus (syn. Philasterides dicentrarchi) leads to high mortality and economic losses in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) aquaculture. In this study, we developed a real‐time PCR assay targeting the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene of M. avidus to sensitively detect and quantify the parasite in seawater.

Biodiversity of Marine Interstitial Ciliates in the Intertidal Zone of the White Sea: A Dataset from the Chernaya River Estuary, Kandalaksha Gulf

Diversity, 2023
(1) Background: An estuary is a zone in which sea and river waters mix. It is a specific area with a very non-stable environment and salinity gradient. However, little is known about the diversity of ciliate communities in estuarine benthic ecosystems in
