New Records of the Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) from the Coastal Lagoons in Korea
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 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
Protists, which include eukaryotic algae and protozoa, are crucially important for biogeochemical cycling and the aquatic food web but are sensitive to environmental fluctuations.

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

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]
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]
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.

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.
