The eukaryome of modern microbialites reveals distinct colonization across aquatic ecosystems
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesProtists are less studied for their role and diversity in ecosystems. Notably, protists have played and still play an important role in microbialites. Microbialites, or lithified microbial mats, represent the oldest evidence of fossil biofilms (~3.5 Gyr).

Establishment and Effect of a Protist Consortium on the Maize Rhizosphere
Phytobiomes JournalProtists are abundant in the rhizosphere, and protist inoculation onto plants has revealed protists’ roles in plant growth and development, disease suppression, and relationships with plant-beneficial bacteria.

A Review of Neotropical Myxomycetes (1828-2008)
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2008 A synthesis of the accumulated knowledge on myxomycetes recorded from the Neotropical region is presented in this paper. The biodiversity of these microorganisms in the Neotropics has been underestimated, and this paper shows that half the known species ...

Exosomes in parasitic protists [PDF]
, 2019 Most cells release extracellular vesicles. These vesicles are exosomes, ectosomes and apoptotic bodies. The main function of ectosomes and exosomes is the intracellular communication and transport of molecules between cells.

Transitions within agroecosystems impact protists diversity and soil multifunctionality
Communications Earth & EnvironmentSoil protists are key contributors to ecosystem functions. The impacts of transitions within agricultural systems on the soil biota and functionality receive less attention than that among distinct ecosystems including forest, grassland, and cropland ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects including implication in the sharp decline of North American farmland‐breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton (Gossypium spp ...
