Folia Biologica, 2005 New stands of rare species of the Paramecium aurelia complex were found in Europe, i.e. P. pentaurelia and P. dodecaurelia in Italy and P. septaurelia in Germany. The species were identified by mating reactions with the standard strains of each species.

The Romantic Discovery of Radiolaria in the Ocean
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Radiolaria are unicellular marine organisms (protists) that have been drifting in oceanic plankton for hundreds of millions of years. These mineral architects can build extraordinarily complex skeletons, which fascinated and puzzled naturalists observing water samples through rudimentary microscopes.

Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness [PDF]
, 2009 Human sleeping sickness in Africa, caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. raises a number of questions. Despite the widespread distribution of the tsetse vectors and animal trypanosomiasis, human disease is only found in discrete foci which periodically give ...

My favorite cell—Paramecium [PDF]
BioEssays, 2002 AbstractA Paramecium cell has a stereotypically patterned surface, with regularly arranged cilia, dense‐core secretory vesicles and subplasmalemmal calcium stores. Less strikingly, there is also a patterning of molecules; for instance, some ion channels are restricted to certain regions of the cell surface.

Database Release: PPSDB, a Linked Open Data Knowledge Base for Protist–Prokaryote Symbioses
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT As the ecological and evolutionary importance of symbiotic interactions between protists (microbial eukaryotes) and prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) is better appreciated, keeping an overview of their diversity and the literature becomes a growing and ongoing challenge.

All Organisms Can Be Anesthetized, but There's No Point?
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Because of their interest in medicine, most studies on anesthesia have historically focused on the nervous systems of animals. This has often led to the neglect of the fact that all life forms have the potential to be anesthetized. Anesthetics target proteins, such as four‐domain voltage‐dependent Na+/Ca2⁺ channels (4D‐NaV/CaV) and glutamate ...

Monitoring Alien Species Diversity in Ballast Water Based on Environmental DNA Metabarcoding
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study applied environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess alien species in ballast water from ships at Dongjiakou Port, Qingdao, identifying 41 alien species including three invasives. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of eDNA as a noninvasive tool for monitoring ballast water biodiversity and offer valuable insights for managing the
