Effects of a Ciliate Protozoa Predator on Microbial Communities in Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea) Leaves
The aquatic communities found within the water filled leaves of the pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, have a simple trophic structure providing an ideal system to study microscale interactions between protozoan predators and their bacterial prey. In this study, replicate communities were maintained with and without the presence of the bactivorous protozoan, Colpoda steinii, to determine the e...
متن کاملA keystone predator controls bacterial diversity in the pitcher-plant (Sarracenia purpurea) microecosystem.
The community of organisms inhabiting the water-filled leaves of the carnivorous pitcher-plant Sarracenia purpurea includes arthropods, protozoa and bacteria, and serves as a model system for studies of food web dynamics. Despite the wealth of data collected by ecologists and zoologists on this food web, very little is known about the bacterial assemblage in this microecosystem. We used termina...
متن کاملOriented cell division shapes carnivorous pitcher leaves of Sarracenia purpurea
Complex morphology is an evolutionary outcome of phenotypic diversification. In some carnivorous plants, the ancestral planar leaf has been modified to form a pitcher shape. However, how leaf development was altered during evolution remains unknown. Here we show that the pitcher leaves of Sarracenia purpurea develop through cell division patterns of adaxial tissues that are distinct from those ...
متن کاملReport of the Trial of Sarracenia Purpurea, or the Pitcher Plant, in Small-Pox
purpurea in small-pox. The specimens of the plant which accompanied the communication were submitted to me for trial at the Small-pox Hospital, the root being the part of the plant particularly recommended for use. The public generally and the profession ought to feel very much obliged to Mr. Miles for the great trouble he took in bringing the subject before them. And although I shall not, unfo...
