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

#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

We also directly detected plasmalogens in our beloved Chromosphaera perkinsii and Capsaspora.

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 🦑

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 🙂
