Oceanic Protists
extraordinary species diversity and variety of interactions of protists in the sea are only now being fully appreciated. Figure 1 shows representative examples of marine protists, and of methods used to visualize these microbes. Protists can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. The former, also called microscopic algae, contain chloroplasts, thrive by photosynthesis, and are at the base of all ocea...
متن کاملOceanic protists with different forms of acquired phototrophy display contrasting biogeographies and abundance.
This first comprehensive analysis of the global biogeography of marine protistan plankton with acquired phototrophy shows these mixotrophic organisms to be ubiquitous and abundant; however, their biogeography differs markedly between different functional groups. These mixotrophs, lacking a constitutive capacity for photosynthesis (i.e. non-constitutive mixotrophs, NCMs), acquire their phototrop...
متن کاملProtists and Disease
to have discovered the parasitic micro-organisms of molluscum contagiosum, syphilis, cancer, rabies, smallpox, carcinoma (or at least "cancer"), and a few other diseased conditions. If imagination has run riot among the Entamocbac, and made havoc of the affinities of the Haemosporidia, when it comes to the " Clilainydozoa " it seems to become entirely divorced from reason. The history of protoz...
متن کاملThematic Issue: Protists
Ulva zoospores preferentially settle on N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) producing marine bacterial biofilms. To investigate whether AHL signal molecules also affect the success and rate of zoospore germination in addition to zoospore attraction, the epiphytic bacteria associated with mature Ulva linza were characterized and bacterial isolates representative of this community tested for the abili...

attention to interesting aspects of natural history. In most of my research projects I try to reserve a little bit of time for taking photographs. Our projects on waterbirds are ideal for combining data collection with a bit of photography — we observe our focal broods from floating, mobile blinds, in wetlands teeming with waterbirds. With a really good blind, it’s like being invisible — we oft...
