Trophic upgrading and mobilization of wax esters in microzooplankton [PDF]
, 2019 Heterotrophic protists play pivotal roles in aquatic ecosystems by transferring matter and energy, including lipids, from primary producers to higher trophic predators.

The application of Fresnel zone plate based projection in optofluidic microscopy [PDF]
, 2008 Optofluidic microscopy (OFM) is a novel technique for low-cost, high-resolution on-chip microscopy imaging. In this paper we report the use of the Fresnel zone plate (FZP) based projection in OFM as a cost-effective and compact means for projecting the ...

Fertilization changes soil microbiome functioning, especially phagotrophic protists
, 2020 The soil microbiome determines crop production and drives nutrient cycling, functions that are altered by fertilization. Yet, we have only begun to understand the effects of fertilization on taxonomic changes on soil microorganisms, while impacts on ...

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2020 Plants modulate the soil microbiota by root exudation assembling a complex rhizosphere microbiome with organisms spanning different trophic levels. Here, we assessed the diversity of bacterial, fungal and cercozoan communities in landraces and modern ...

Protist predation can favour cooperation within bacterial species [PDF]
, 2013 Here, we studied how protist predation affects cooperation in the opportunistic pathogen bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which uses quorum sensing (QS) cell-to-cell signalling to regulate the production of public goods.

Soil Protists Can Actively Redistribute Beneficial Bacteria along Medicago truncatula Roots
bioRxiv, 2021 Soil protists are an important part of the microbial community in the rhizosphere. Plants grown with protists fare better than plants grown without protists. ABSTRACT The rhizosphere is the region of soil directly influenced by plant roots. The microbial

Testate Amoeba Functional Traits and Their Use in Paleoecology
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past hydrological changes in paleoecological investigations from peatland ...

Metagenetic analysis of patterns of distribution and diversity of marine meiobenthic eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2014 AimMeiofaunal communities that inhabit the marine benthos offer unique opportunities to simultaneously study the macroecology of numerous phyla that exhibit different life-history strategies.

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...
