Crawling under the radar: Two novel Paulinella species expand knowledge about the ecology and evolution of a primary plastid‐containing amoeba lineage

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

A mitochondrial carrier transports glycolytic intermediates to link cytosolic and mitochondrial glycolysis in the human gut parasite Blastocystis

eLife
Stramenopiles form a clade of diverse eukaryotic organisms, including multicellular algae, the fish and plant pathogenic oomycetes, such as the potato blight Phytophthora, and the human intestinal protozoan Blastocystis. In most eukaryotes, glycolysis is

Directed Evolution of Plant‐Associated Bacteria Enhances Plant Holobiont Stress Tolerance

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant stress responses are shaped by both the plant genome and its associated microbial communities, which together form the plant holobiont. Given the rapid adaptive potential of plant‐associated microbes, we hypothesised that directed evolution under selective pressure can accelerate the development of holobiont‐level stress tolerance ...

High resolution analysis of local and global protistan soil community structures using morphological and modern molecular techniques [PDF]

, 2013
The unicellular protists inhabit all types of aquatic and terrestrial environments. This thesis is focused on terrestrial protistan communities where they contribute significantly to mineralization processes and key ecosystem functions, as they are major

Response diversity increases functional but decreases compositional stability of grassland communities

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1083-1095, November 2026.
Response space of grassland plant species to increasing land‐use intensity based on response dissimilarities quantified by using a novel approach. The response space clusters species that benefit from land‐use intensification (‘winners’, green), are negatively affected (‘losers’, yellow), and those with nonmonotonic responses (blue).

Challenges and Future Directives of Synthetic Biology in Engineering Plant–Microbe Partnerships for Sustainable Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2491-2519, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic biology has recently proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing agriculture even in the face of environmental and biological stresses. Understanding the challenges that militate synthetic biology will assist in ensuring safe, stable, and scalable crop production.

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Protists as determinants of the One Health framework [PDF]

One Health connects three main health elements: humans, animals and the environment. Protists influence all three, but their role in the overall One Health framework has been widely overlooked.

Cancer and Hypertension: Shared Mechanisms, Treatment Interactions, and Clinical Management

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cancer and hypertension (HTN) frequently coexist, and their relationship is increasingly recognized as a clinically relevant intersection between oncology and cardiovascular medicine. However, the extent to which this association reflects shared risk factors, common biological mechanisms, or treatment‐related effects remains incompletely ...
