Genomics of Preaxostyla Flagellates Illuminates the Path Towards the Loss of Mitochondria
Marek Elias, Shweta Vinodrai Pipaliya
The notion that mitochondria cannot be lost was shattered with the report of an oxymonad Monocercomonoides exilis, the first eukaryote arguably without any mitochondrion. Yet, questions remain about whether this extends beyond the single species and how th ...
San Francisco2023Soil protist function varies with elevation in the Swiss Alps
Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Edward Mitchell, Enrique Lara, Aline Buri
Protists are abundant and play key trophic functions in soil. Documenting how their trophic contributions vary across large environmental gradients is essential to understand and predict how biogeochemical cycles will be impacted by global changes. Here, u ...
2022Life Cycle Assessment of Algal Biorefinery
Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman
Only biodiesel production from algae would not be economically favorable. Other co-products such as animal feed and biochemical from algae have to be produced to utilize the full potential of algae nutrient composition and to fulfill the growing demand of ...
Elsevier2017Basal body structure in Trichonympha
Trichonympha is a symbiotic flagellate of many species of termites and of the wood-feeding cockroach. Remarkably, this unicellular organism harbors up to over ten thousand flagella on its surface, which serve to propel it through the viscous environment of ...
Springer Nature2016Fundamental Constraints on the Abundances of Chemotaxis Proteins
Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol
Flagellated bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, perform directed motion in gradients of concentration of attractants and repellents in a process called chemotaxis. The E. coli chemotaxis signaling pathway is a model for signal transduction, but it has uniq ...
Elsevier BV2015Harnessing bacterial power in microscale actuation
This paper presents a systematic analysis of the motion of microscale structures actuated by flagellated bacteria. We perform the study both experimentally and theoretically. We use a blotting procedure to attach flagellated bacteria to a buoyancy-neutral ...
IEEE2009Microfabricated Structures Powered by Flagellated Bacteria
We have studied self-coordinated transportation systems using SU-8 microstructures in open microchannels and here present a stochastic model for the bacteria-driven microbarge that is designed to mimic the motion of this system with and without chemical gr ...
