Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Enrique Lara

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult. ...

Foraminifera are ubiquitous eukaryotic protists inhabiting all types of marine environments. The chemical and isotopic compositions of their carbonate tests are commonly used as proxies for paleo-environmental conditions. However, while foraminifera repres ...

Structured light enables biomimetic swimming and versatile locomotion of photoresponsive soft microrobots

Peer Fischer, Tian Qiu, Hao Zeng

Microorganisms move in challenging environments by periodic changes in body shape. In contrast, current artificial microrobots cannot actively deform, exhibiting at best passive bending under external fields. Here, by taking advantage of the wireless, scal ...

Castles fall from inside: Evidence for dominant internal photo-catalytic mechanisms during treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

In this work, the antimicrobial effects of the photo-Fenton process on yeast cells were tested (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), an essential eukaryotic unicellular model of living cells. Near-neutral pH was used in all studies, while iron sulfate and iron citra ...

Cell proliferation and migration during early development of a symbiotic scleractinian coral

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe

In scleractinian reef-building corals, patterns of cell self-renewal, migration and death remain virtually unknown, limiting our understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying initiation of calcification, and ontogenesis of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellat ...

From Environmental Sequences to Morphology: Observation and Characterisation of a Paulinellid Testate Amoeba (Micropyxidiella edaphonis gen. nov. sp. nov. Euglyphida, Paulinellidae) from Soil using Fluorescent in situ Hybridization

Enrique Lara, Sonia Estelle Tarnawski

High microbial diversity is revealed by environmental DNA surveys. However, nothing is known about the morphology and function of these potentially new organisms. In the course of an environmental soil diversity study, we found for the first time environme ...

An unexpected role for mixotrophs in the response of peatland carbon cycling to climate warming

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Enrique Lara, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills, Bertrand Fournier

Mixotrophic protists are increasingly recognized for their significant contribution to carbon (C) cycling. As phototrophs they contribute to photosynthetic C fixation, whilst as predators of decomposers, they indirectly influence organic matter decompositi ...

An intracellular replication niche for Vibrio cholerae in the amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii

Melanie Blokesch, Catherine Maclachlan, Tiziana Scrignari, Charles Ulric V Van der Henst

Vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen and the causative agent of cholera. The persistence of this bacterium in aquatic environments is a key epidemiological concern, as cholera is transmitted through contaminated water. Predatory protists, such as amoebae, a ...

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 ...
