#Ichthyosporea are not just the 5–6 species we and others have helped establish as models. Our recent synthesis suggests that ~95% of their species-level diversity remains uncultivated. In other words, we still know only a fraction of the map! #protistsonSky @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social @prbb.org

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals a new marine parasite: Characterization and distribution of Rozellomyces from the Gulf of Alaska Parasitic microorganisms play critical roles in shaping aquatic ecosystems, yet many lineages, such as those within the phylum Rozellomycota, remain poorly understood. Here, we describe a new rozel...

Many cellular innovations later used by animals were assembled long before animals evolved.We show that aerobic plasmalogen biosynthesis likely entered eukaryotes early from Myxobacteria, highlighting how bacterial genes shaped the cellular landscape from which animals emerged. 🧬✨ #protistsOnSky

My new spiritual eukaryote is ciliate in Si helmet swimming towards North pole ⚔️. Definitely an amazing reading from Bolzoni et al. "Magnetoreception in a freshwater ciliate arises from endosymbiosis." 10.1038/s41467-026-70462-8 for #protistsonsky

Spent the last few days measuring the diameter of all the Actinoptychus spp. I’ve photographed over the last 4 years, and counted all their sectors. It’s been quite a task! #marineplankton #protistsonsky 🦑

New Study Traces how Cells Learned to Live Without Oxygen - Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences

In a study led by @choannaflagellate.bsky.social and @evocellbio.bsky.social using samples from a local mudflat in Maine, we found evidence of a new lineage of #protistsonsky that helps fill in gaps in our understanding of breviate (+Obozoa) mitochondrial evolution.

I see that footage all over the BSky, I am also amazed, reposting gladly. Would be really interesting to have more than "Foram" lable (can it be not foram? 🫢). Which of 4Kish extant forams? Globigerinid? Can we narrow further with size? We are #protistsonsky! Lets do some expert work if we can 🙂

I’ve seen hundreds of these little tubes, empty, but this is the first time I’ve seen one occupied! A little ciliate from the family Tintinnidiidae.

Could We Have Started Out as Mag­ne­to­tac­tic Bac­te­ria? by Elio — There are bacteria that have small magnets within them. Magnetotactic bacteria. The magnets consist of iron-containing crystals lined up in a row along the long axis of the cells, which …
