Dominance of Ciliophora and Chlorophyta Among Phyllosphere Protists of Solanaceous Plants

Phytobiomes Journal, 2023
Phyllosphere microbiota play an important role in shaping plant health and function but most research has focused only on bacterial and fungal communities. As a result, little is known about the composition of diverse microeukaryotes in the phyllosphere,

Whole-proteome tree of life suggests a deep burst of organism diversity. [PDF]

, 2020
An organism tree of life (organism ToL) is a conceptual and metaphorical tree to capture a simplified narrative of the evolutionary course and kinship among the extant organisms.

Protist predation selects for the soil resistome

The ISME Journal
A key aspect of “One Health” is to comprehend how antibiotic resistomes evolve naturally. In this issue, Nguyen and colleagues pioneered an in situ investigation on the impact of protist predations on the soil microbial community and its antibiotic ...

Insights from meta‐analysis for efficient docosahexaenoic acid production in thraustochytrids through advanced cultivation and fermentation strategies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This systematic review examines strategies for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production by thraustochytrids, focusing on cultivation techniques, fermentation technologies, and carbon/nitrogen optimization to increase productivity. Among 169 eligible articles, the 100 most productive studies (0.7–10.3 g DHA L−1 per day) were analyzed. Quantitative

Transmission dynamics of symbiotic protist communities in the termite gut: association with host adult eclosion and dispersal

Royal Society Open Science
The fidelity of vertical transmission is a critical factor in maintaining mutualistic associations with microorganisms. The obligate mutualism between termites and intestinal protist communities has been maintained for over 130 million years, suggesting ...

Protist literacy: A novel concept of protist learning in higher education

Eurasia Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education
Protist education in universities primarily focuses on acquiring knowledge about species classification within the protist. Protist literacy emerged as a theoretical framework exploring the interplay between humans and protists within daily existence ...

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Protist communities are correlated with abiotic soil factors, but not resources, prey, or predators along a subalpine secondary succession

Geoderma
Protists are pivotal components of soil micro-food webs, influencing microbial functioning and nutrient cycling. While abiotic soil factors consistently drive protist communities, the roles of bottom-up (resources) and top-down (predators) forces remain ...

Seagrass Colonization Alters Diversity, Abundance, Taxonomic, and Functional Community Structure of Benthic Microbial Eukaryotes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Seagrass form high productive ecosystems in coastal environments. However, the effects of these coastal plants on the structure and function of the belowground eukaryotic microbiome remain elusive.
