Characterization of eukaryotic microbial diversity in hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
This study describes the community structure of the microbial eukaryotic community from hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia, using near full length 18S rRNA sequences. Water samples were taken in both summer and winter over a four year period. The extent

The draft nuclear genome sequence and predicted mitochondrial proteome of Andalucia godoyi, a protist with the most gene-rich and bacteria-like mitochondrial genome

BMC Biology, 2020
Comparative analyses have indicated that the mitochondrion of the last eukaryotic common ancestor likely possessed all the key core structures and functions that are widely conserved throughout the domain Eucarya.

Effects of Glyphosate on the Planktonic Microbiota: An Experimental Approach

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, including in Brazil, and its dispersion through habitats and surface waters can impact entire aquatic ecosystems. However, experimental studies evaluating the effects of pesticides on whole planktonic communities, considering attributes such as richness, density and composition—

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...

Marine thraustochytrid: exploration from taxonomic challenges to biotechnological applications

Frontiers in Marine Science
Thraustochytrids, as a distinct group of heterotrophic protists, have garnered considerable attention owing to their remarkable adaptability in extreme marine environments, pronounced capacity for metabolic regulation and prolific production of high ...

Houses made by protists [PDF]

Current Biology, 2011
What kind of structures are we talking about? Portable protective cases, known as tests, made by single-celled organisms out of collected building materials.What are the organisms that can do this? There are two distinct types of single-celled eukaryotes with this ability.

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development

Boreas, EarlyView.
Multi‐method (FTIR, FT‐NIR and TGA) approaches characterizing the organic peat constituents at Holcroft Moss reveal a record of switches that reflect broadly hydroclimate variability governing the decomposition patterns. There are periods, however, where hydroclimate does not fully explain the variability observed and instead changes appear linked to ...

Sulfur-Oxidizing Symbionts without Canonical Genes for Autotrophic CO₂ Fixation

mBio, 2019
Since the discovery of symbioses between sulfur-oxidizing (thiotrophic) bacteria and invertebrates at hydrothermal vents over 40 years ago, it has been assumed that autotrophic fixation of CO2 by the symbionts drives these nutritional associations.
