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.

The protist cultural renaissance

Trends in Microbiology
Protists are key players in the biosphere. Here, we provide a perspective on integrating protist culturing with omics approaches, imaging, and high-throughput single-cell manipulation strategies, concluding with actions required for a successful return of the golden age of protist culturing.

The enigmatic protist Nephromyces

Biosystems, 1981
This paper review current knowledge concerning the identity of Nephromyces, a collection of fungus-like cells found in the renal sac of all molgulid tunicates thus far examined. The following has been demonstrated: (1) The cells called Nephromyces do exist, and are not produced by their tunicate hosts, but are something foreign to these animals.

Extrusive Organelles in Protists

1978
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the extrusive organelles in protists. Extrusive organelles are membrane-bounded structures of protists, usually located in the cortical cytoplasm of these cells. Although they have different type-specific structures and functions, they all exhibit one general characteristic: they are readily discharged when ...

Biophysics of protist behaviour

Current Biology
Protists, an umbrella term first coined by Ernst Haeckel in 1866, are a vast collection of (primarily unicellular) eukaryotes that are "neither animals nor plants". This basic definition by exclusion has been exercised for centuries, even though recent advances have led to more rigorous taxonomic assignment of various protist groups.
