Revision of the life cycle of the harmful dinoflagellate Margalefidinium polykrikoides (Gymnodiniales, Dinophyceae) based on isolates from Korean coastal waters
Although the life cycle of Margalefidinium polykrikoides , formerly called Cochlodinium polykrikoides , has been described previously, the descriptions...

New trichrome stains identify cysts of Colpodella sp. (Apicomplexa) and Bodo caudatus
Colpodella species are free-living close relatives of apicomplexans that were recently reported to cause red blood cell infection in an...

Where are the basal fungi? Current status on diversity, ecology, evolution, and taxonomy
To date, the majority of mycological studies are focused on Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Research on basal fungi is rather limited with an obvious...

A myeloid leukemia factor homolog is involved in tolerance to stresses and stress-induced protein metabolism in Giardia lamblia
BackgroundThe eukaryotic membrane vesicles contain specific sets of proteins that determine vesicle function and shuttle with specific destination. Gi...

Intercomparison of Two Fluorescent Dyes to Visualize Parasitic Fungi (Chytridiomycota) on Phytoplankton
Fungal microparasites (here chytrids) are widely distributed and yet, they are often overlooked in aquatic environments. To facilitate the detection...

Assessment of the allelochemical activity of Ostreopsis cf. ovata and the ovatoxins towards competitive benthic microalgae
Recurrent blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata are frequently reported in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. The impact of these...

Physiological Mechanism of Dinoflagellate Survival under a Biogenic Limitation
AbstractThe physiological mechanism of the long-term survival of dinoflagellates under a biogenic limitation has been studied using the cultures of...

De novo transcriptome of the newly described phototrophic dinoflagellate Yihiella yeosuensis: comparison between vegetative cells and cysts
Dinoflagellates are often responsible for red tides or harmful algal blooms. Many dinoflagellates move quickly to capture prey cells, escape from...

The Population Genetics and Evolutionary Potential of Diatoms
Since the Victorian era, people have remarked on the diversity and abundance of diatoms in marine waters. Diatoms are found across the sunlit ocean,...

Root-Associated Mycobiomes of Common Temperate Plants (Calluna vulgaris and Holcus lanatus) Are Strongly Affected by Winter Climate Conditions
Winter temperatures are projected to increase in Central Europe. Subsequently, snow cover will decrease, leading to increased soil temperature...
