Persistence of bioconvection-induced mixed layers in a stratified lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner

In situ observations of biophysical interactions in natural waters typically focus on physical mechanisms influencing biological activity. Yet, biological activity can also drive physical processes in aquatic environments. A community of photoautotrophic, ...

Heterotrophic Foraminifera Capable of Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Nitrogen availability often limits biological productivity in marine systems, where inorganic nitrogen, such as ammonium is assimilated into the food web by bacteria and photoautotrophic eukaryotes. Recently, ammonium assimilation was observed in kleptopla ...

A method to disentangle and quantify host anabolic turnover in photosymbiotic holobionts with subcellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi, Arnaud Comment, Maoz Fine, Emma Mary Gibbin

A wide range of organisms host photosynthesizing symbionts. In these animals the metabolic exchange between host and symbionts has prevented in situ host anabolic turnover to be studied without the confounding effect of translocated photosynthates. Using t ...

Dispersal limitations and historical factors determine the biogeography of specialized terrestrial protists

Edward Mitchell, Luca Bragazza, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara, Bertrand Fournier

Recent studies show that soil eukaryotic diversity is immense and dominated by micro-organisms. However, it is unclear to what extent the processes that shape the distribution of diversity in plants and animals also apply to micro-organisms. Major diversif ...

Microorganisms from surface waters contribute to the inactivation of human echovirus 11: toward biocontrol of viral pathogens?

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Margot Ninon Lauren Olive

Human viruses are widespread as contaminants in surface waters and represent a significant health risk. Viral pathogens can persist in aquatic ecosystems and cause infections via contaminated water or food. Among the different factors governing the environ ...

Inherent biomechanical traits enable infective filariae to disseminate through collecting lymphatic vessels

Marco Pisano, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski

Filariases are diseases caused by arthropod-borne filaria nematodes. The related pathologies depend on the location of the infective larvae when their migration, the asymptomatic and least studied phase of the disease, comes to an end. To determine factors ...

Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with

Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara, Thierry Jean Heger, Bertrand Fournier, Alexandre Jousset, Santosh Kumar

Protists are the most diverse eukaryotes. These microbes are keystone organisms of soil ecosystems and regulate essential processes of soil fertility such as nutrient cycling and plant growth. Despite this, protists have received little scientific attentio ...

Sequestered Chloroplasts In The Benthic Foraminifer Haynesina Germanica: Cellular Organization, Oxygen Fluxes And Potential Ecological Implications

Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Haynesina germanica is a coastal benthic foraminifer known to sequester chloroplasts from benthic pennate diatoms. This study investigates its cellular organization, as well as the oxygen consumption and production rates under dark and light conditions. Th ...
