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 ...

Autophagy, 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,

Microplastics and phagotrophic soil protists: evidence of ingestion
Soil Organisms, 2021 Microplastics (MPs) can now be found in all the Earth’s biomes, thereby representing a global change phenomenon with largely unknown consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Trade-Offs between Competitive Ability and Resistance to Top-Down Control in Marine Microbes
mSystems, 2023 Trade-offs between competitive ability and resistance to top-down control manifest the “kill-the-winner” hypothesis that explains how mortality caused by protists and viruses can promote bacterial diversity.

Soil Organisms, 2020 Soils host most biodiversity on Earth, with a major fraction of its taxonomic diversity still to be uncovered and most of its functional knowledge to be determined. Much focus has been - and still is - on bacteria, fungi and animals. Clearly, without any

Current 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.

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
