Land-use intensification differentially affects bacterial, fungal and protist communities and decreases microbiome network complexity

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiome, 2022
Background Soil microbial communities are major drivers of cycling of soil nutrients that sustain plant growth and productivity. Yet, a holistic understanding of the impact of land-use intensification on the soil microbiome is still poorly understood ...

New Records of the Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) from the Coastal Lagoons in Korea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Lagoons are natural bodies of water that are isolated from the sea due to the development of a sand bar or spit. Each lagoon has distinct ecological characteristics, and these sites also serve as popular tourist attractions because they are common ...

Spatiotemporal distribution of protists in the Yarlung Zangbo River, Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesWater Biology and Security, 2022
Protists, which include eukaryotic algae and protozoa, are crucially important for biogeochemical cycling and the aquatic food web but are sensitive to environmental fluctuations.

The P10K database: a data portal for the protist 10 000 genomes project

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2023
Protists, a highly diverse group of microscopic eukaryotic organisms distinct from fungi, animals and plants, exert crucial roles within the earth's biosphere. However, the genomes of only a small fraction of known protist species have been published and

Predatory protists [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2020
The vast majority of eukaryotic life is made up of single cells commonly referred to as protists. In this primer, Leander provides an introduction to predatory protists - cells that eat other cells. This lifestyle, in particular the use of phagocytosis, makes endosymbiosis possible and enabled the evolution of complex cells.

Beyond the limits of the unassigned protist microbiome: inferring large-scale spatio-temporal patterns of Syndiniales marine parasites

open access: yesISME Communications, 2023
Marine protists are major components of the oceanic microbiome that remain largely unrepresented in culture collections and genomic reference databases.

New Insight Into the Mechanism of Ecological Effects of Artificial Habitats: Elucidating the Relationship Between Protists Associated With Artificial Reefs and Adjacent Seawater

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Artificial habitat deployment can restore natural habitats or supplement existing natural habitats. The effect of resource proliferation and protection is obvious.

Contemporary issues, current best practice and ways forward in soil protist ecology

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, 2023
Soil protists are increasingly studied due to a release from previous methodological constraints and the acknowledgement of their immense diversity and functional importance in ecosystems.

Trophic interrelationships of bacteria are important for shaping soil protist communities

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, 2023
Protists occupy multiple trophic positions in soil food webs and significantly contribute to organic matter decomposition and biogeochemical cycling.

Protist diversity and community complexity in the rhizosphere of switchgrass are dynamic as plants develop

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2021
Background Despite their widespread distribution and ecological importance, protists remain one of the least understood components of the soil and rhizosphere microbiome.
