However, the assembly and structure of planktonic microeukaryote (e.g., ciliates) communities, especially in complex river networks, are rarely investigated. Here, we investigated the ciliate community structure and assembly mechanism among seasons in Chongming Island's trellised river network using both metabarcoding and quantitative protargol stain (QPS) approaches. Both methods showed that ciliates exhibited similar community composition at the class level and distinct seasonal succession, which are attributed to variations in nutrients, dissolved oxygen and water temperature. The stochastic process was the main factor in explaining the assembly of the ciliate community in all seasons, which is probably attributed to the high connectivity of the river network and the frequent opening of sluices for the water project operation. Collectively, unique ciliate community structure, seasonal variation, and specific community assembly mechanism driven by hydrology were reported in this study.

The rrn operon phylogeny revealed this parasite as being closely related to coccidian-like parasites of marine fish (ichthyocolids) and cnidarians (corallicolids), while organelle phylogenomics hint at a closer relation to the protococcidian Eleutheroschizon. Using this new phylogenetic context and previous morphological descriptions, we describe this parasite as Apostichocystis gudetama gen. nov. sp. nov. Mining available microbiomes reveal the presence of Apostichocystis spp. beyond its host range, alluding to other potential hosts or cryptic, closely related lineages.

These organelles retain their own genomes, which are highly reduced and divergent when compared to those of their bacterial relatives. To better understand the trajectory of mitochondrial genome evolution from the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) to extant species, mitochondrial genome sequences from phylogenetically diverse lineages of eukaryotes—particularly protists—are essential. For this reason, we focused on the mitochondrial genomes of Ancyromonadida, an independent and understudied protist lineage in the eukaryote tree of life. Here we report the mitochondrial genomes from three Ancyromonadida: Ancyromonas sigmoides, Nutomonas longa, and Fabomonas tropica. Our analyses reveal that these mitochondrial genomes are circularly mapping molecules with inverted repeats that carry genes. This inverted repeat structure has been observed in other mitochondrial genomes but is patchily distributed over the tree of eukaryotes. Ancyromonad mitochondrial genomes possess several protein-coding genes, which have not been detected from any other mitochondrial genomes of eukaryotes sequenced to date, thereby extending the known mitochondrial gene repertoire of ancestral eukaryotes, including LECA. These findings significantly expand our understanding of mitochondrial genome diversity across eukaryotes, shedding light on the early phases of mitochondrial genome evolution.","PeriodicalId":15672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology","volume":"72 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jeu.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are marine, with some playing significant roles as parasites. Notably, they have been implicated in sea urchin mass mortality events and are known causative agents of Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) in fish.

Only a few taxa, such as cnidarians and ciliates hosting algal endosymbionts, have been actively studied, which has hindered understanding the universal mechanisms of photosymbiosis establishment. In Amoebozoa, few species are reported as photosymbiotic, and how the photosymbioses are established is still unclear. To investigate the extent to which one of the photosymbiotic amoebae, Mayorella viridis, depends on their symbionts, the amoebae were treated with reagents known to induce the collapsing of photosymbioses in other species. We succeeded in removing algal symbionts from the hosts with 2-amino-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone. While the apo-symbiotic amoebae grew to the same extent as the symbiotic state when they fed on prey, their survival rates were lower than those of the symbiotic ones during starvation, suggesting that the impact of the photosymbiosis on fitness is condition-dependent. Furthermore, we showed that the photosymbiotic state was reversible by feeding two strains of the green alga Chlorella to the apo-symbiotic amoebae. The efficiencies of ingesting algal cells significantly differed between algal strains. These results suggest that the photosymbiotic relationship in the amoeba is facultative and that different algal strains have discrete symbiotic abilities to the amoeba.","PeriodicalId":15672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology","volume":"72 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jeu.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143871804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some have “atypical” morphologies. Here, we describe the foraging mechanisms in heteroloboseid flagellates (Discoba) that have a groove but lack the seemingly crucial vane. The percolomonads barbeliid AE-1 and Percolomonas doradorae form a functional vane with four adjacent flagella undulating with lateral asymmetry, creating an erratic flow that rapidly “sucks” water into the groove and expels it on the other side. This flow attenuates rapidly away from the cell, consistent with the flagellar pump acting as an instantaneous point sink. Conversely, Pharyngomonas kirbyi generates a continuous flow through the groove with two asynchronously moving posterior flagella. Despite the unexplained fluid dynamics, this flow has a further reach, consistent with describing the flagellar pump as a point force (stokeslet). While the volumetric flow rate through the groove—a measure of the maximum potential clearance rate—of the two percolomonads is similar to clearance rates estimated for other phagotrophic flagellates, it is an order of magnitude lower for Ph. kirbyi, which may afford lower rates due to high prey concentration in its hypersaline environment.","PeriodicalId":15672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology","volume":"72 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jeu.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143846018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dinoflagellate lacked nonplastid haptophyte cell components (e.g. nucleus or mitochondria). In the host dinoflagellate phylogeny, Ks. flava was distantly related to the other two dinoflagellate lineages known to be associated with haptophyte-derived plastids, thus representing the third of such lineage. Plastid origins differed among Ks. flava strains (>99.8% 18S rRNA gene identity), with plastids being derived from at least three haptophytes and an especially strong genetic similarity to two distantly related extant haptophytes (>99.9% 16S rRNA gene identity).
