An evolutionary perspective on the kinome of malaria parasites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Malaria parasites belong to an ancient lineage that diverged very early from the main branch of eukaryotes. The approximately 90-member plasmodial kinome includes a majority of eukaryotic protein kinases that clearly cluster within the AGC, CMGC, TKL ...

Decreased DMI sensitivity of Plenodomus biglobosus (phoma of oilseed rape) associated with CYP51 substitution G476S

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Here, we report for the first time a target site mutation in the CYP51 gene of the oilseed rape phoma stem canker fungus Plenodomus biglobosus (Leptosphaeria biglobosa) that is associated with decreased sensitivity to sterol demethylation inhibitor fungicides.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

The eukaryome of modern microbialites reveals distinct colonization across aquatic ecosystems

open access: yesnpj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Protists 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).

The Nutritional and Pharmacological Potential of New Australian Thraustochytrids Isolated from Mangrove Sediments

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2020
Mangrove sediments represent unique microbial ecosystems that act as a buffer zone, biogeochemically recycling marine waste into nutrient-rich depositions for marine and terrestrial species.

Simultaneous Parasitism of Field-Collected Green Cloverworm, \u3ci\u3eHypena Scabra\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae by Endoparasitioids and an Entomopathogenic Fungus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The impacts of entomopathogens (e.g., fungi, bacteria, protists and viruses) on larval Lepidoptera and their associated insect parasitoids have been examined in laboratory studies but field studies of interaction between these two mortality factors are ...

The words ‘protist’ and ‘protista’ [PDF]

open access: yesExperientia, 1958
Les auteurs estiment que l'on devrait employer les mots «Protiste» et «Protista» a peu pres dans le sens originel deHaeckel (1866) — c'est-a-dire pour l'ensemble Bacteries, Algues, Champignons, et Protozoaires — et ne pas en exclure ni les Bacteries ni les Algues bleuesvertes comme l'a faitCopeland en 1938.

Precise 3D Tracking of Highly Non‐Planar Eukaryotic Flagellar Beating Patterns Using Digital Holographic Microscopy

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
The 3D beating dynamics of eukaryotic flagella drive motility, sensory functions, and resource acquisition, yet highly non‐planar beating patterns remain poorly characterized. Based on Digital Holographic Microscopy, holoV3C enables label‐free 3D reconstruction of such complex dynamics with 53 nm axial resolution, demonstrated on mouse sperm and ...

Molecular phylogeny and evolution of Parabasalia with improved taxon sampling and new protein markers of actin and elongation factor-1α [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Inferring the evolutionary history of phylogenetically isolated, deep-branching groups of taxa—in particular determining the root—is often extraordinarily difficult because their close relatives are unavailable as suitable outgroups.
