Microbially influenced corrosion and rust tubercle formation on sheet piles in freshwater systems
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 10, Page 1796-1815, October 2023., 2023 Abstract The extent of how complex natural microbial communities contribute to metal corrosion is still not fully resolved, especially not for freshwater environments. In order to elucidate the key processes, we investigated rust tubercles forming massively on sheet piles along the river Havel (Germany) applying a complementary set of techniques.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 70, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract The bulk of knowledge on marine ciliates is from shallow and/or sunlit waters. We studied ciliate diversity and distribution across epi‐ and mesopelagic oceanic waters, using DNA metabarcoding and phylogeny‐based metrics. We analyzed sequences of the 18S rRNA gene (V4 region) from 369 samples collected at 12 depths (0–1000 m) at the Bermuda ...

Infection strategies of different chytrids in a diatom spring bloom
Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 972-986, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Diatom blooms are often accompanied by an increase in parasitic chytrids that kill the host cells, which they are infecting, and can contribute to the decline of the bloom. However, host specificity and range of these chytrids are currently poorly understood.

Successful invasions to freshwater systems double with climate warming
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 953-962, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Although invasive species are recognized as a major threat to freshwaters, little is known about how future climate warming will affect the success of invaders. Ecosystems are also often simultaneously impacted by multiple, potentially interacting, invading species and the management of species invasions can be incredibly difficult.

Comparative Studies on the Polymorphism and Copy Number Variation of mtSSU rDNA in Ciliates (Protista, Ciliophora): Implications for Phylogenetic, Environmental, and Ecological Research [PDF]
, 2020 While nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA (nSSU rDNA) is the most commonly‐used gene marker in studying phylogeny, ecology, abundance, and biodiversity of microbial eukaryotes, mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNA (mtSSU rDNA) provides an ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2718-2733, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Continental freshwater systems are particularly vulnerable to environmental variation. Climate change‐induced desertification and the anthropogenic exploitation of hydric resources result in the progressive evaporation and salinization of inland water bodies in many areas of the globe.

Phylogenomic analysis of integral diiron membrane histidine motif-containing enzymes in ciliates provides insights into their function and evolutionary relationships [PDF]
, 2017 The Integral Membrane Histidine Motif-containing Enzymes (IMHME) are a class of binuclear non-heme iron proteins widely distributed among prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Bacterial symbiosis in ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora): Roads traveled and those still to be taken
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 69, Issue 5, September/October 2022., 2022 Abstract The diversity of prokaryotic symbionts in Ciliophora and other protists is fascinatingly rich; they may even include some potentially pathogenic bacteria. In this review, we summarize currently available data on biodiversity and some morphological and biological peculiarities of prokaryotic symbionts mainly within the genera Paramecium and ...

Microorganisms, 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.
