Protist-Bacteria Associations: Gammaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria Are Prevalent as Digestion-Resistant Bacteria in Ciliated Protozoa
Protistan bacterivory, a microbial process involving ingestion and digestion, is ecologically important in the microbial loop in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. While bacterial resistance to protistan ingestion has been relatively well understood, little is known about protistan digestion in which some ingested bacteria could not be digested in cells of major protistan grazers in the natura...
متن کاملInfluence of rumen protozoa and bacteria upon cellulose digestion in vitro.
S TUDIES by Appleby et al. (1956), Gutierrez and tlungate (1957), Eadie et al. (1959) and Eadie and Hollson (1962) indicated that ciliate protozoa normally inhabiting the rumen exerted considerable influence upon end products of rumen fermentation and upon tureen bacterial populations. The full significance of protozoa to the nutrition of cattle and sheep is not clear. However, Christiansen et ...
متن کاملDifferential rates of digestion of bacteria by freshwater and marine phagotrophic protozoa.
Differential decreases over time of two bacterial species, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis, in a freshwater and a marine ecosystem were observed and explained by a differential rate of digestion of these bacteria by phagotrophic flagellates and ciliates. For this purpose, fluorescence-labeled bacteria (FLB) were used and prepared from the two species cited above. The number of FLB wa...
متن کاملPlant-Bacteria Association and Symbiosis: Are There Common Genomic Traits in Alphaproteobacteria?
Alphaproteobacteria show a great versatility in adapting to a broad range of environments and lifestyles, with the association between bacteria and plants as one of the most intriguing, spanning from relatively unspecific nonsymbiotic association (as rhizospheric or endophytic strains) to the highly species-specific interaction of rhizobia. To shed some light on possible common genetic features...
متن کاملRates of digestion of bacteria by marine phagotrophic protozoa: temperature dependence.
The effect of temperature on length of time for digestion of bacteria was evaluated, by using fluorescently labeled bacteria (FLB), for phagotrophic flagellates and ciliates isolated from coastal northwest Mediterranean waters. Accumulation of FLB in protozoan food vacuoles was followed until a plateau of FLB per cell occurred; then after a 1:10 dilution of FLB with unlabeled bacteria, disappea...
