#ProtistsOnSky #FungiFriends
in soil, it's not just fungi entrapping worms for dinner with their hyphae, it's also the protists that feast on fungal hyphae. after all, it's a jungle...
thx to kenneth @dumack.bsky.social for this highly interesting 🧵
Our takeaway: if we want to understand forest soils, we need to look beyond fungi. Metatranscriptomics reveal important players that PCR-based approaches miss.
Really happy to share our new article: Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity. #ProtistsOnSky #MicrobialEcology #Soil

We are continuing our efforts at iterative expansion microscopy of loricate choanos. Not only does the lorica expand, it seems you can iterate expansion pretty much infinitely. Here’s our latest - incredibly, it expanded to macroscopic size! #ProtistsOnSky
