DOI: 10.1016/j.ejop.2017.03.006
Abstract: Testate amoeba-derived transfer functions are frequently used in peatland palaeohydrological studies and involve the development of training sets from surficial peats. However, within acrotelmic peats, considerable vertical variation in assemblage composition can occur, particularly along… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.1c00785
Abstract: Amoebas are protists that are widespread in water and soil environments. Some species are pathogenic, inducing potentially lethal effects on humans, making them a major threat to public health. Nonpathogenic amoebas are also of concern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-11866-x
Abstract: Endosymbiotic relationships between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are common in nature. Endosymbioses between two eukaryotes are also known; cyanobacterium-derived plastids have spread horizontally when one eukaryote assimilated another. A unique instance of a non-photosynthetic, eukaryotic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiac001
Abstract: Abstract Free-living amoebae often harbor obligate intracellular bacterial symbionts. Amoebophilus (A.) asiaticus is a representative of a lineage of amoeba symbionts in the phylum Bacteroidota. Here, we analyse the transcriptome of A. asiaticus strain 5a2… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12898-019-0265-5
Abstract: BackgroundSome pathogenic bacteria have been developing as a part of terrestrial and aquatic microbial ecosystems. Bacteria are consumed by bacteriovorous protists which are readily consumed by larger organisms. Being natural predators, protozoa are also an… read more here.
