Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015 No profiling of diversity of myxomycetes has ever been conducted in one of the biodiversity hotspot areas in the Philippine archipelago, and this necessitates a swift survey of myxomycetes in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. An assessment of diversity of

Phenotypic plasticity in plasmodial slime molds and molecular phylogeny of terrestrial vs. aquatic species. [PDF]
Theory Biosci, 2022 AbstractFifty years ago, the enigmatic Brazilian myxomycete-species Didymium aquatile was described and analyzed with respect to the structure of the plasmodium and its spores. In this study, we compare this rare plasmodial slime mold with another, temporarily aquatic taxon from Europe, Didymium nigripes. Phenotypic plasticity of D.

Applicability of Redirecting Artemisinins for New Targets
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Repurposing of drugs has great practical appeal. However, a systematic approach is essential. Here, artemisinins (ARTS) are used to illustrate some considerations that are critical in this process. Several mechanisms of action are suggested for ARTS, among which only a few are successfully examined in vivo, mainly the induction of oxidant stress and ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2188-2209, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.

On the evolution of epigenetics via exaptation: A developmental systems perspective
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1529, Issue 1, Page 21-32, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Evolution and development are interrelated processes influenced by genomic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Epigenetic processes serve critical roles in development and operate as intermediaries that connect the genome to the rest of the world. Therefore, it is of interest to consider the evolution of epigenetic processes.

Diet and mitonuclear haplotype interactions affect growth rate in a slime mould
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Three‐way interactions between mitochondrial, nuclear haplotypes and dietary P:C ratios affected the slime mould's surface area of growth but not biomass. Our findings have broad implications for our understanding of the effect of mitonuclear interactions on trait expression across diverse eukaryotic lineages.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 6924-6939, November 2021., 2021 Summary Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling molecule in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. NO levels transiently boost upon induction of conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans. Only one pathway for NO synthesis involving nitrate reductase has been reported in filamentous fungi so far, but this does not satisfy all the NO produced in fungal cells. Here we

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2021., 2021 Abstract The Cutosea represent a deep‐branching lineage within the phylum Amoebozoa that is still relatively poorly explored. Currently, there are four cutosean representatives known – the monotypic genera Armaparvus, Idionectes, Sapocribrum, and Squamamoeba – with marked genetic distances. Idionectes vortex is the deepest‐branching species and differs

EVOLUTION OF HIERARCHICAL CYTOPLASMIC INHERITANCE IN THE PLASMODIAL SLIME MOLD PHYSARUM POLYCEPHALUM [PDF]
Evolution, 2004 A striking linear dominance relationship for uniparental mitochondrial transmission is known between many mating types of plasmodial slime mold Physarum polycephalum. We herein examine how such hierarchical cytoplasmic inheritance evolves in isogamous organisms with many self-incompatible mating types.

Quick n’ Cheap – a simplified workflow to barcode plasmodial slime molds(Myxomycetes) [PDF]
Karstenia, 2020 We present a workflow for efficient barcoding of myxomycete fructifications, which (i) requires less than 1000 spores, (ii) allows to collect spores with only a needle, (iii) works without any commercial kits, and (iv) is optimized for the use of 96-well PCR plates throughout the process.
