Amanda Cardoso Fonseca Lemos et al.
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are key components of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, but their diversity and distribution in central-western Brazil remain poorly characterized. Some FLA are pathogenic and may harbor bacteria of public health...

Dinoflagellate algae are a diverse group of single-celled eukaryotes, often living in marine environments. The majority of species are entirely free-living, but many can become symbionts with corals, jellyfish and other marine organisms. Wi...
Diversity and evolution of DNA polymerase θ in eukaryotes and the origin of mitochondrion-localized DNA polymerase PolIA in euglenozoa [0.03%]
真核生物DNA聚合酶θ的多样性和进化及吴氏虫纲线粒体定位DNA聚合酶PolIA的起源
Ryu Isogai,Mingzhe Wei,Ryo Harada et al.
Ryu Isogai et al.
Pioneering phylogenetic studies recovered the sister relationship between two distinct types of DNA polymerase (DNAP)-one is nucleus-localized Polθ with a pan-eukaryotic distribution, and the other is mitochondrion-localized PolIA found ex...
Integrative taxonomic description of Stylocephalus epistupaformis n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinorida) parasitising the darkling beetle Gonocephalum depressum Fabricius, 1801, in West Bengal, India [0.03%]

The genus Stylocephalus Ellis, 1912 (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinorida) exhibits wide distribution and morphological diversity; however, species delimitation has traditionally relied on light microscopy. In the present study, a septate gregarine...
New draft genomes assemblies of Blastocystis isolates from subtypes 1 and 8 confirm conserved synteny, transposable element diversity, and provide insights into pathogenic potential [0.03%]
新型Blastocystis分离株(1型和8型)基因组草图的发布确认了染色体保守共线性,可移动遗传元件多样性,并为致病潜力提供了见解

Ivan Wawrzyniak et al.
Blastocystis is a highly prevalent protist infecting both humans and a wide range of animal hosts. Despite its global distribution and frequent association with gastrointestinal symptoms infections, its pathogenicity remains controversial. ...
Inducing chirality in slime mold - spontaneous alternation behavior may reveal spatial memory in Physarum polycephalum [0.03%]
诱导黏菌旋光异构性-多头绒泡菌的自发交替行为可能揭示其空间记忆能力
