Time to regulate microbial eukaryote nomenclature
Nomenclature of microbial eukaryotes has been historically relegated to secondary importance. This is a legacy of the traditional classification of life into the most studied multicellular forms (plants, fungi, and animals). Despite the revolution in an understanding of eukaryotic diversity and relationships that has been achieved as a result of the use of molecular techniques, the description ...
متن کاملMicrobial Eukaryote Diversity and Biogeography
M icrobial ecology has come of age. Microorganisms of all types are essential participants in virtually all biogeochemical processes on earth, a realization that has developed steadily during the last half-century. Moreover, the diversity of bacteria and archaea, revealed by oceanographers and marine bacteriologists through the cloning and sequencing of genes from natural water samples beginnin...
متن کاملGlobal dispersal of free-living microbial eukaryote species.
The abundance of individuals in microbial species is so large that dispersal is rarely (if ever) restricted by geographical barriers. This "ubiquitous" dispersal requires an alternative view of the scale and dynamics of biodiversity at the microbial level, wherein global species number is relatively low and local species richness is always sufficient to drive ecosystem functions.
متن کاملDefining DNA-based operational taxonomic units for microbial-eukaryote ecology.
DNA sequence information has increasingly been used in ecological research on microbial eukaryotes. Sequence-based approaches have included studies of the total diversity of selected ecosystems, studies of the autecology of ecologically relevant species, and identification and enumeration of species of interest for human health. It is still uncommon, however, to delineate protistan species base...
متن کاملFlipping DNA to generate and regulate microbial consortia.
Communities of interdependent microbes, found in diverse natural contexts, have recently attracted the attention of bioengineers. Such consortia have potential applications in biosynthesis, with metabolic tasks distributed over several phenotypes, and in live-cell microbicide therapies where phenotypic diversity might aid in immune evasion. Here we investigate one route to generate synthetic mi...
