Metagenomic analysis of planktonic microbial consortia from a non-tidal urban-impacted segment of James River [PDF]

, 2015
Knowledge of the diversity and ecological function of the microbial consortia of James River in Virginia, USA, is essential to developing a more complete understanding of the ecology of this model river system.

Dead or Alive? Challenges in Discriminating Dietary From Host‐Associated Community via RNA and DNA Metabarcoding in a Filter Feeder

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The present manuscript uses time series of highly standardized samples of a freshwater and a marine mussel from Germany to explore chances and challenges of identifying their associated community composition by a parallel DNA and RNA metabarcoding approach.

Flagellated endosymbiotic bacteria in a marine Frontonia sp. (Oligohymenophorea, Peniculida)

Protistology, 2001
Frontonia sp. was repeatedly found in sea water samples collected from a shore near Leghorn (Ligurian sea). Endosymbiotic rod shaped bacteria 5-6 μm long were found in the cytoplasm of each Frontonia sp. specimen examined at the fluorescent microscope following DAPI staining procedure.

Metabarcoding Unveils the Diversity and Dynamics of In Situ Diet and Symbionts Associated With Copepods in Chinese Coastal Waters

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Copepods are the key secondary producers in marine ecosystems, yet their in situ diet and symbionts remain underexplored due to technical challenges, limiting our understanding of their population dynamics and ecological functions. Using DNA metabarcoding, we jointly characterised the natural diet and symbionts of copepods across Chinese ...

An annotated checklist of species in the family Lagenophryidae (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea, Peritrichia), With a brief review of their taxonomy, morphology, and biogeography

Zootaxa, 2016
The genera Lagenophrys Stein, 1852, Paralagenophrys Clamp, 1987, Clistolagenophrys Clamp, 1991, and Operculigera Kane, 1969 make up the family Lagenophryidae and, together, contain more than 80 species worldwide that live mainly as ectosymbionts of crustaceans.

Genomic resolution of a cold subsurface aquifer community provides metabolic insights for novel microbes adapted to high CO2 concentrations. [PDF]

, 2016
As in many deep underground environments, the microbial communities in subsurface high-CO2 ecosystems remain relatively unexplored. Recent investigations based on single-gene assays revealed a remarkable variety of organisms from little studied phyla in ...

Adaptation of Marine Heterotrophic Protists to Long‐Term Warming Selection

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
Our study unraveled profitable adaptations of marine protozoa to long‐term warming. The optimal temperature, maximum growth rates, cell homeostasis, and cell size significantly increased after warming adaptation, suggesting a resilient future for this functional group.

Multitrophic diversity effects depend on consumer specialization and species-specific growth and grazing rates [PDF]

, 2014
Ecosystem functioning is affected by horizontal (within trophic groups) and vertical (across trophic levels) biodiversity. Theory predicts that the effects of vertical biodiversity depend on consumer specialization.
