Diversity of apostome ciliates,Chromidinaspp. (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

“Candidatus Sonnebornia yantaiensis”, a member of candidate division OD1, as intracellular bacteria of the ciliated protist Paramecium bursaria (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) [PDF]

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2014
An intracellular bacterium was discovered in an isolate of Paramecium bursaria from a freshwater pond in Yantai, China. The bacteria were abundant and exclusively found in the cytoplasm of the host which, along with the green alga Chlorella, formed a ...

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.

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.

Somatic genome architecture and molecular evolution are decoupled in "young" linage-specific gene families in ciliates. [PDF]

PLoS One
The evolution of lineage-specific gene families remains poorly studied across the eukaryotic tree of life, with most analyses focusing on the recent evolution of de novo genes in model species.

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. This study aimed to fill this gap by sequencing the

Nuclear and Mitochondrial SSU rRNA Genes Reveal Hidden Diversity of Haptophrya Endosymbionts in Freshwater Planarians and Challenge Their Traditional Classification in Astomatia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Like many other aquatic animals, freshwater planarians have also become partners of symbiotic ciliates from the class Oligohymenophorea. In the present study, we explored the hidden diversity and addressed the questionable systematic position of ...

Cinetochilides minimus sp. nov., a Tiny Benthic Ciliate (Protozoa, Ciliophora) from Brackish Water in Korea

Diversity, 2023
During a field survey of Korean marine and brackish water ciliate diversity, we collected a tiny benthic ciliate (13–18 µm long in vivo) from the opening of a brackish water lagoon (10‰).

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

Phylogeny of Neobursaridium reshapes the systematics of Paramecium (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora)

Zoologica Scripta, 2020
AbstractThe subclass Peniculia (Oligohymenophorea, Intramacronucleata) is one of the most known groups of the phylum Ciliophora, being composed by very notorious representatives, such as Paramecium and Frontonia. Nevertheless, phylogenetic relationships among genera within this subclass are still far from being resolved.
