Genomics of Preaxostyla Flagellates Illuminates the Path Towards the Loss of Mitochondria

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 ...

Soil 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 ...

Life 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 ...

Basal body structure in Trichonympha

Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard

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 ...

Fundamental 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 ...

Autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrient fluxes in the dinoflagellate-coral symbiosis – A NanoSIMS perspective

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin

The exchange of metabolites between photosynthetic symbionts and their coral host in shallow-water scleractinians provides the nutritional basis for their successful evolution and the existence of massive coral reefs in oligotrophic tropical waters. Autotr ...

Infection Dynamics and Immune Response in a Newly Described Drosophila-Trypanosomatid Association

Bruno Lemaitre, Anna Dostalova

Trypanosomatid parasites are significant causes of human disease and are ubiquitous in insects. Despite the importance of Drosophila melanogaster as a model of infection and immunity and a long awareness that trypanosomatid infection is common in the genus ...

Harnessing bacterial power in microscale actuation

Mahmut Selman Sakar

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 ...

Microfabricated Structures Powered by Flagellated Bacteria

Mahmut Selman Sakar

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 ...

Dynamics of actin and myosin II during cell polarization and directional locomotion

Sophie Bohnet

Crawling cell motility is characteristic of most animal cells and is involved in many important biological processes such as embryogenesis, immune response, and wound healing. It involves several steps: protrusion (dynamic surface extension) at the front o ...
