DOI: 10.1016/j.procbio.2021.08.014
Abstract: Abstract Thraustochytrium striatum was selected as a model protist to test the possibility of protist granulation for its good potential of organic waste valorization. Initially, only a selective settling velocity of 9 m h−1 was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2017.02.007
Abstract: Trichomycetes is a group of microorganisms that was considered a class of fungi comprising four orders of commensal, gut-dwelling endosymbionts obligately associated with arthropods. Since molecular phylogenies revealed two of those orders (Amoebidiales and Eccrinales="protist… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41564-019-0432-7
Abstract: Mutualistic symbioses are often a source of evolutionary innovation and drivers of biological diversification1. Widely distributed in the microbial world, particularly in anoxic settings2,3, they often rely on metabolic exchanges and syntrophy2,4. Here, we report… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiac057
Abstract: Abstract Predatory protists are major consumers of soil micro-organisms. By selectively feeding on their prey, they can shape soil microbiome composition and functions. While different protists are known to show diverging impacts, it remains impossible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evad022
Abstract: Abstract Ascetosporea are endoparasites of marine invertebrates that include economically important pathogens of aquaculture species. Owing to their often-minuscule cell sizes, strict intracellular lifestyle, lack of cultured representatives and minimal availability of molecular data, these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.13808
Abstract: A large part of the soil protist diversity is missed in metabarcoding studies based on 0.25 g of soil environmental DNA (eDNA) and universal primers due to ca. 80% co-amplification of non-target plants, animals and fungi.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00021-22
Abstract: The composition and structure of wood, which contains cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, prevent most organisms from using this common food source. Termites are a rare exception among animals, and they rely on a complex microbiota… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00945-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT Cellular adaptations to change often involve post-translational modifications of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. An example found in protists and plants is the modification of serine and threonine residues of dozens to hundreds of nucleocytoplasmic… read more here.
