Rethinking the marine carbon cycle: factoring in the multifarious lifestyles of microbes
BACKGROUND Marine ecosystems are composed of a diverse array of life forms, the
majority of which are unicellular—archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. The power of these …

Choanoflagellates alongside diverse uncultured predatory protists consume the abundant open-ocean cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus
Prochlorococcus is a key member of open-ocean primary producer communities. Despite its
importance, little is known about the predators that consume this cyanobacterium and make …

Did some red alga‐derived plastids evolve via kleptoplastidy? A hypothesis
A Bodył - Biological Reviews, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The evolution of plastids has a complex and still unresolved history. These organelles
originated from a cyanobacterium via primary endosymbiosis, resulting in three eukaryotic …

Exploring the uncultured microeukaryote majority in the oceans: reevaluation of ribogroups within stramenopiles
Molecular surveys in planktonic marine systems have unveiled a large novel diversity of
small protists. A large part of this diversity belongs to basal heterotrophic stramenopiles and …

Availability of vitamin B12 and its lower ligand intermediate α-ribazole impact prokaryotic and protist communities in oceanic systems
G Wienhausen, L Dlugosch, R Jarling… - The ISME …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Genome analyses predict that the cofactor cobalamin (vitamin B12, called B12 herein) is
produced by only one-third of all prokaryotes but almost all encode at least one B12 …
