Landscape structure is a key driver of soil protist diversity in meadows in the Swiss Alps
ContextHuman-induced changes in landscape structure are among the main causes of biodiversity loss. Despite their important contribution to...
-
Isolation and Enumeration of Mycophagous Protist
Protists can prey upon other smaller organisms such as bacteria and fungi. Their feeding actions are of utmost importance in driving the microbial... -
Integrating depth-dependent protist dynamics and microbial interactions in spring succession of a freshwater reservoir
BackgroundProtists are essential contributors to eukaryotic diversity and exert profound influence on carbon fluxes and energy transfer in...

Availability of vitamin B12 and its lower ligand intermediate α-ribazole impact prokaryotic and protist communities in oceanic systems
Genome analyses predict that the cofactor cobalamin (vitamin B 12 , called B 12 herein) is produced by only one-third of all prokaryotes but almost all...

Initial Observation of Protist from Soil
Soil is a complex and dynamic ecosystem that is home to a large number of microbial communities. These communities are composed of diverse groups of... -
Organic nitrogen utilisation by an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus is mediated by specific soil bacteria and a protist
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi lack efficient exoenzymes to access organic nutrients directly. Nevertheless, the fungi often obtain and further...
