T Kiørboe - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Heterotrophic nanoflagellates are the main consumers of bacteria and picophytoplankton in
the ocean and thus play a key role in ocean biogeochemistry. They are found in all major …

Reconstructing the last common ancestor of all eukaryotes
Understanding the origin of eukaryotic cells is one of the most difficult problems in all of
biology. A key challenge relevant to the question of eukaryogenesis is reconstructing the …

Choanoflagellates alongside diverse uncultured predatory protists consume the abundant open-ocean cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus
Prochlorococcus is a key member of open-ocean primary producer communities. Despite its
importance, little is known about the predators that consume this cyanobacterium and make …

Meteora sporadica, a protist with incredible cell architecture, is related to Hemimastigophora
Summary" Kingdom-level" branches are being added to the tree of eukaryotes at a rate
approaching one per year, with no signs of slowing down. 1, 2, 3, 4 Some are completely …

Phylogenomics of neglected flagellated protists supports a revised eukaryotic tree of life
Eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotic predecessors in the early Proterozoic 1, 2 and radiated
from their already complex last common ancestor, 3 diversifying into several supergroups …

Phylogenomic position of genetically diverse phagotrophic stramenopile flagellates in the sediment-associated MAST-6 lineage and a potentially halotolerant …
Unlike morphologically conspicuous ochrophytes, many flagellates belonging to basally
branching stramenopiles are small and often overlooked. As a result, many of these …

Foraging mechanisms in excavate flagellates shed light on the functional ecology of early eukaryotes
S Suzuki-Tellier, F Miano… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - National Acad Sciences
The phagotrophic flagellates described as “typical excavates” have been hypothesized to be
morphologically similar to the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor and understanding the …

[PDF][PDF] A novel group of dynamin-related proteins shared by eukaryotes and giant viruses is able to remodel mitochondria from within the matrix
The diverse GTPases of the dynamin superfamily play various roles in the cell, as
exemplified by the dynamin-related proteins (DRPs) Mgm1 and Opa1, which remodel the …
