Phylogenetic Relationships of the Subclass Peniculia (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora) Inferred from Small Subunit rRNA Gene Sequences [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2000
ABSTRACT. Peniculine ciliates have been recognized as a distinct higher taxon of ciliates for almost 50 years. However, phylogenetic relationships within the Subclass Peniculia are still unsettled. To contribute to our understanding of their phylogeny and provide evidence for the position of Urocentrum turbo, we sequenced its small subunit (SS) rRNA ...

Morphological diversity and molecular phylogeny of five Paramecium bursaria (Alveolata, Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) syngens and the identification of their green algal endosymbionts

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Paramecium bursaria is a mixotrophic ciliate species, which is common in stagnant and slow-flowing, nutrient-rich waters. It is usually found living in symbiosis with zoochlorellae (green algae) of the genera Chlorella or Micractinium. We investigated P.

Nuclear events during conjugation in the poorly studied model ciliate Paramecium jenningsi

open access: yesWater Biology and Security, 2023
Ciliated protists are highly differentiated unicellular eukaryotes that possess special sexual processes (conjugation and autogamy) that rely on their unique nuclear dimorphism, i.e., the presence of both a germline micronucleus (MIC) and a somatic ...

Molecular Polymorphism of Strains within Paramecium septaurelia (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea)

open access: yesFolia Biologica, 2005
RAPD-PCR fingerprinting and ARDRA riboprinting revealed polymorphism within P. septaurelia strains from Russia (4 strains from Lower Volga Basin), and one strain from USA, Florida. However, the first method showed the existence of four RAPD genotypes while the second revealed only two groups of strains with different band patterns.

Characterization of Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) in Ciliated Protists Inferred by Comparative Genomics

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are prevalent in the genomes of all organisms. They are widely used as genetic markers, and are insertion/deletion mutation hotspots, which directly influence genome evolution.

A new marine ciliate, Apofrontonia jejuensis n. sp. (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) from Jeju Island, South Korea, and an improved diagnosis of the genus Apofrontonia

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The genus Apofrontonia comprises vicarious species that until now have only been described in a few locations worldwide. It was assigned to the family Frontoniidae based on two diagnostic features, i.e., the closely arranged kinetal rows in the peniculi ...

Mitochondrial genome sequencing and analysis of scuticociliates (Uronema marinum) isolated from Takifugu rubripes

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Scuticociliates are dangerous parasitic pathogens for in worldwide mariculture. Scuticociliates cause high mortality to marine fish. After an outbreak of scuticociliatosis in Takifugu rubripes in Liaoning Province, northern China, Uronema marinum, a ...

Diversity of ciliates in small rivers in vicinity of Khabarovsk and in southern Sakhalin Island

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2016
Data on species composition of ciliates in the small rivers at Khabarovsk and in southern Sakhalin Island are presented. Modified method of sampling was applied with using of samplers and “glass fouling” on the shallows of the rivers.

Unravelling the importance of the eukaryotic and bacterial communities and their relationship with Legionella spp. ecology in cooling towers: a complex network

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2020
Background Cooling towers are a major source of large community-associated outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease, a severe pneumonia. This disease is contracted when inhaling aerosols that are contaminated with bacteria from the genus Legionella, most ...
