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 ...

Autophagy in protists [PDF]

open access: yesAutophagy, 2011
Autophagy is the degradative process by which eukaryotic cells digest their own components using acid hydrolases within the lysosome. Originally thought to function almost exclusively in providing starving cells with nutrients taken from their own cellular constituents, autophagy is in fact involved in numerous cellular events including differentiation,

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.

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.

Ultrastructure of calcareous dinophytes (Thoracosphaeraceae, Peridiniales) with a focus on vacuolar crystal-like particles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Biomineralization in calcareous dinophytes (Thoracosphaeracaea, Peridiniales) takes place in coccoid cells and is presently poorly understood. Vacuolar crystal-like particles as well as collection sites within the prospective calcareous shell may play a ...

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.

Protist predation can favour cooperation within bacterial species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Here, we studied how protist predation affects cooperation in the opportunistic pathogen bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which uses quorum sensing (QS) cell-to-cell signalling to regulate the production of public goods.

An inordinate fondness?: the number, distributions, and origins of diatom species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The number of extant species of diatoms is estimated here to be at least 30,000 and probably ca. 100,000, by extrapolation from an eclectic sample of genera and species complexes.

Lens eyes in protists [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2020
Eyes are not unique to animals. As described by Nilsson and Marshall, prominent eyes, complete with retina and lens, have unexpectedly evolved in single cell dinoflagellates.
