The colonization of land by plants generated opportunities for the rise of new heterotrophic
life forms, including humankind. A unique event underpinned this massive change to earth …

Marine phytoplankton are believed to account for more than 45% of photosynthetic net
primary production on Earth, and hence are at the base of marine food webs and have an …

The ecology and distribution of green phytoplankton (Chlorophyta) in the ocean is poorly
known because most studies have focused on groups with large cell size such as diatoms or …

We compared the composition of eukaryotic communities using two genetic markers (18S
rRNA V4 and V9 regions) at 27 sites sampled during Ocean Sampling Day 2014, with a …

Mamiellophyceae (unicellular green algae) are a key phytoplankton group in coastal waters.
Although extensively studied over the last 20 years, the overall oceanic distribution of the …

Prasinophytes clade VII is a group of pico/nano-planktonic green algae (division
Chlorophyta) for which numerous ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences have been retrieved …

Protists are a diverse and understudied group of microbial eukaryotic organisms especially
in terrestrial environments. Advances in molecular methods are increasing our …

Chlorophytes and haptophytes are key contributors to global phytoplankton biomass and
productivity. Mixotrophic bacterivory has been detected for both groups, but a shortage of …

Abstract Information on the diversity and distribution of harmful microalgae in the Gulf of
Thailand is very limited and mainly based on microscopic observations. Here, we collected …

Eukaryotic microbes play key ecological roles in riverine ecosystems. Amplicon sequencing
has greatly facilitated the identification and characterization of eukaryotic microbial …
