Rhizosphere protists are key determinants of plant health

Microbiome, 2020
Background Plant health is intimately influenced by the rhizosphere microbiome, a complex assembly of organisms that changes markedly across plant growth.

Protists as main indicators and determinants of plant performance

Microbiome, 2021
Background Microbiomes play vital roles in plant health and performance, and the development of plant beneficial microbiomes can be steered by organic fertilizer inputs. Especially well-studied are fertilizer-induced changes on bacteria and fungi and how

Protists

Trends in Plant Science, 2019
The rhizosphere microbiome is a central determinant of plant performance. Microbiome assembly has traditionally been investigated from a bottom-up perspective, assessing how resources such as root exudates drive microbiome assembly. However, the importance of predation as a driver of microbiome structure has to date largely remained overlooked. Here we

Predatory protists reduce bacteria wilt disease incidence in tomato plants

Nature Communications
Soil organisms are affected by the presence of predatory protists. However, it remains poorly understood how predatory protists can affect plant disease incidence and how fertilization regimes can affect these interactions.

Soil protists

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2018
Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now furthered our understanding of the real taxonomic and functional diversity of soil protists.

Experimental assessment of interactions between marine bacteria and model protists: from predator-prey relationships to bacterial-mediated lysis [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Bacteria in aquatic environments are a principal food source for predatory protists. Whereas interactions between bacteria and protists are recognized to determine the pathogenesis and epidemiology of several human pathogens, few studies have ...

Rhizosphere-colonizing bacteria persist in the protist microbiome [PDF]

mSphere
Soils contain diverse predatory protists that affect the abundance and behavior of rhizosphere bacteria, including bacteria that may benefit plant health.

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2022
Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition.

From head to rootlet: comparative transcriptomic analysis of a rhizocephalan barnacle Peltogaster reticulata (Crustacea: Rhizocephala) [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2023
Background: Rhizocephalan barnacles stand out in the diverse world of metazoan parasites. The body of a rhizocephalan female is modified beyond revealing any recognizable morphological features, consisting of the interna, a system of rootlets, and the ...

Diversity and ecology of protists revealed by metabarcoding

Current Biology, 2021
Protists are the dominant eukaryotes in the biosphere where they play key functional roles. While protists have been studied for over a century, it is the high-throughput sequencing of molecular markers from environmental samples - the approach of ...
