The architecture of eukaryotic cells is underpinned by complex arrrays of microtubules that
stem from an organizing center, referred to as the MTOC. With few exceptions, MTOC s …

The class Myxomycetes consists of free-living protists characterised by their complex life
cycle, which includes both microscopic (amoebae, flagellates and cists) and macroscopic …

The taxonomic position of the uniciliate, unicentriolar zooflagellate Phalansterium is
problematic; its distinctive ultrastructure with a pericentriolar microtubular cone placed it in …

Species identification in the myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds or myxogastrids) poses
particular challenges to researchers as a result of their morphological plasticity and frequent …

Background Our understanding of the eukaryotic tree of life and the tremendous diversity of
microbial eukaryotes is in flux as additional genes and diverse taxa are sampled for …

The main objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the history and the level of
research on biodiversity of myxomycetes in Russia. The first doubtless mention of …

Myxomycetes are fungus-like organisms that play a significant role in ecological processes,
however, their taxonomic diversity and distribution in China are poorly understood. Diderma …

Protostelids and myxomycetes have been isolated from dead plant parts in many different
habitats, including tropical rain forests and deserts. However underwater habitats largely …

An understanding of large‐scale eukaryotic evolution is beginning to crystallise, as
molecular and morphological data demonstrate that eukaryotes fall into six major groups …

Archamoebae is an understudied group of anaerobic free-living or endobiotic protists that
constitutes the major anaerobic lineage of the supergroup Amoebozoa. Hitherto, the …
