PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF PALAEACANTHOCEPHALA (ACANTHOCEPHALA) INFERRED FROM SSU AND LSU rDNA GENE SEQUENCES

Journal of Parasitology, 2005
The Palaeacanthocephala is traditionally represented by 2 orders, Echinorhynchida and Polymorphida, with 10 and 3 families, respectively. To test the monophyly of the class, these 2 orders, and certain families, phylogenies were inferred using nuclear small-subunit (SSU) and large-subunit (LSU) ribosomal DNA sequences obtained for 29 species ...

Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

Comprehensive Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Amoebozoa Based on Concatenated Analyses of SSU-rDNA and Actin Genes

PLoS ONE, 2011
Evolutionary relationships within Amoebozoa have been the subject of controversy for two reasons: 1) paucity of morphological characters in traditional surveys and 2) haphazard taxonomic sampling in modern molecular reconstructions. These along with other factors have prevented the erection of a definitive system that resolves confidently both higher ...

Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Three New Euplotid Ciliates (Ciliophora, Euplotidae) Isolated from High Latitudes

Microorganisms
The biodiversity of euplotid ciliates in high-latitude regions has long been underestimated due to a historical research focus on mid- to low-latitude areas.

Impact of Fire and Heat Stress on Soil Microorganisms: A Review of Community Changes, Molecular Responses and Plant‐Beneficial Roles

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

Comparative Analysis of Lavandula Dentata Rhizosphere Microbiota Across Different Developmental Stages in a Semi‐Arid Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study aims to give deeper insight into the relationship between the dynamics of the rhizospheric microbiota and the developmental stages of L. dentata growing spontaneously in a semi‐arid environment. To achieve this objective, we examined and monitored the biomass (using phospholipid fatty acid, PLFA analysis), diversity and network complexity of

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Three Myxosporean Species of the Genera Myxobolus, Henneguya, and Myxidium (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) Infecting Freshwater Fish, Isolated for the First Time in Japan

Life
The majority of myxosporean species (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) of the genera Myxobolus (35 species), Henneguya (8 species), and Myxidium (9 species) from freshwater or brackish fish in Japan were recorded more than 30 years ago (accumulatively 81.1% [43/53 ...

Comparison of rDNA regions (ITS, LSU, and SSU) of someAspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces spp.

TURKISH JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 2016
Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces spp. are commonly found worldwide and include industrially and medicinally important members. These genera are deeply related with life from soil to health hazards via their industrial products, surface proteins, biodiversity, food spoilage, mycotoxins, etc.
