New contributions to two ciliate genera (Ciliophora, Heterotrichea) based on morphological and molecular analyses, with description of a new Gruberia species

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Heterotrichous ciliates are common members of microeukaryote communities which play important roles in both the transfer of material and the flow of energy in aquatic food webs.

Identification of protozoa in dairy lagoon wastewater that consume Escherichia coli O157:H7 preferentially. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EcO157), an agent of life threatening hemolytic-uremic syndrome, resides in ruminants and is released in feces at numbers as high as 10 million cells/gram. EcO157 could survive in manure for as long as 21 months, but we observed

3D printed vorticella-kirigami inspired sensors for structural health monitoring in Internet-of-Things

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2023
Kirigami is an ancient paper art that involves cutting slit strategies, which could provide exotic and controllable engineering properties. Especially, kirigami can be combined with bio-inspired designs to improve its mechanical behaviors.

The planktonic freshwater ciliate Balanion planctonicum (Ciliophora, Prostomatea): A cryptic species complex or a "complex species"? [PDF]

open access: yesJ Eukaryot Microbiol
Abstract The globally distributed ciliate Balanion planctonicum is a primary consumer of phytoplankton spring blooms. Due to its small size (~20 μm), identification and quantification by molecular tools is preferable as an alternative to the laborious counting of specimen in quantitative protargol stains. However, previous sequencing of the 18S rDNA V9

Strain differences in fitness of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to resist protozoan predation and survival in soil.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EcO157) associated with the 2006 spinach outbreak appears to have persisted as the organism was isolated, three months after the outbreak, from environmental samples in the produce production areas of the central coast of ...

A role for contractile vacuole and papilla in transition from cyst to telotroch in Vorticella microstoma [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Unicellular ciliates survive adverse environments by forming resting cysts. Using video microscopy and quantitative imaging, we established that differentiation of swimming telotrochs and their release from a cyst followed a strict temporal and spatial ...
