Role of Soil Protists in Agro Ecosystem Health

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Soil protists, a diverse group of unicellular eukaryotic microorganisms, play a crucial role in soil ecosystems by regulating microbial populations, enhancing nutrient cycling, and contributing to soil fertility.

Peroxisomes in parasitic protists

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2016
Representatives of all major lineages of eukaryotes contain peroxisomes with similar morphology and mode of biogenesis, indicating a monophyletic origin of the organelles within the common ancestor of all eukaryotes. Peroxisomes originated from the endoplasmic reticulum, but despite a common origin and shared morphological features, peroxisomes from ...

Protists in science communication

European Journal of Protistology
Despite their high abundance and wide distribution in ecosystems, most protists remain unknown to the public. Although science communication approaches were developed in historical times to raise public awareness of these 'enigmatic' taxa, many aspects have not been considered in the spotlight of modern techniques.

Oceanic protists [PDF]

Protists are microscopic eukaryotic microbes that are ubiquitous, diverse, and major participants in oceanic food webs and in marine biogeochemical cycles. The study and characterization of protists has a long and distinguished tradition.

Autophagy in protists [PDF]

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,

Predatory protists [PDF]

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.

Protein moonlighting in parasitic protists [PDF]

, 2014
Reductive evolution during the adaptation to obligate parasitism and expansions of gene families encoding virulence factors are characteristics evident to greater or lesser degrees in all parasitic protists studied to date.

The role of mixotrophic protists in the biological carbon pump [PDF]

, 2014
The traditional view of the planktonic food web describes consumption of inorganic nutrients by photoautotrophic phytoplankton, which in turn supports zooplankton and ultimately higher trophic levels.

Fantastic Beasts: Unfolding Mixoplankton Temporal Variability in the Belgian Coastal Zone Through DNA-Metabarcoding

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Protists engaging in photo- and phago- mixotrophy (mixoplankton) are common members of the global plankton community. They are involved in primary production and contribute to the carbon and nutrient cycling. Two major mixoplankton functional types (MFTs)
