No doubt many of us have used some of the images from it in our lectures. Most familiar are perhaps the often-reproduced images of nassularian radiolaria, but plates were also devoted to phaeodarians, acantharia, foraminifera, ciliates, diatoms, dinoflagellates and desmids. Despite the fame of Kunstformen der Natur, there are aspects of the work that have received little attention, and are of potential interest to protistologists. These include the overall importance of protists in the work, compared to other taxa, the surprisingly under appreciated role of Haeckel’s collaborator, Adolph Giltsch in creating the figures, the disputed fidelity of the illustrations of protists, and Haeckel’s discrete inclusion of many descriptions of new species of protists, forcing us to consider Kunstformen a scientific publication. Here these aspects, and the 20 plates featuring protists will be reviewed. The goal of this review is to familiarize protistologists with the most famous work featuring protists, and point out the many particular figures of protists we may wish to avoid showcasing, as the illustrations are questionable. A supplemental file is provided listing the currently accepted names of the protist taxa (for names found in a database), and the reasons for considering some illustrations as questionable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20781,"journal":{"name":"Protist","volume":"175 6","pages":"Article 126069"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While conceptually simple, methods to differentiate cell viability in situ remain challenging. Amoebic gill disease, caused by Neoparamoeba perurans is a parasitic disease impacting Atlantic salmon aquaculture globally. Although commercial freshwater treatments alleviate AGD, viable amoebae remain on gills or in used treatment water. Existing PCR-based assays are able to quantify N. perurans abundance but cannot discriminate amoeba viability. We investigated the use of propidium monoazide (PMA) application, prior to real-time PCR, to distinguish between alive and dead cells. We demonstrate that 200 μM PMA can significantly reduce amplification from non-viable (isopropanol treated) cultured amoebae across at least three logs of cell concentrations. Using a serial dilution of viable and non-viable cells, we show that non-PMA PCR amplifies both viable and non-viable amoebae, while PMA exposure suppresses (but does not completely inhibit) amplification from non-viable amoebae. The effect of freshwater treatment on N. perurans viability was assessed using the PMA-PCR. Following PMA exposure, amplification from freshwater treated amoebae was reduced by approximately 94–97 %. Taken together this study demonstrates that PMA combined with traditional real-time PCR can estimate amoeba viability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20781,"journal":{"name":"Protist","volume":"175 6","pages":"Article 126068"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142326407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dinoflagellates harboring endosymbiotic diatoms (so-called “dinotoms”), which retain their own nuclei and mitochondria in addition to plastids, have been investigated as an intermediate toward the full integration of a eukaryotic phototroph into the host-controlled organelle (i.e., plastid) through endosymbiosis. Pioneering studies systematically evaluated the degree of host governance on several metabolic pathways in the endosymbiotic diatoms (ESDs). However, little attention has been paid to the impact of the endosymbiotic lifestyle on the autophagy operated in the ESDs. In this study, we searched for ATG3, ATG4, ATG5, ATG7, ATG8, ATG10, and ATG12, which are required for autophagosome formation, in the RNA-seq data from dinotoms Durinskia baltica and Kryptoperidinium foliaceum. We detected two evolutionally distinct sets of the ATG proteins in the dinotom species, one affiliated with the dinoflagellate homologs and the other with the diatom homologs in phylogenetic analyses.

These genomes are highly fragmented and greatly reduced, with most of the usual complement of chloroplast genes relocated to the nucleus. Dinoflagellate chloroplasts highlight evolutionary changes that are found to varying extents in a number of other organelle genomes. These include the chloroplast genome of the green alga Boodlea and other Cladophorales, and the mitochondrial genomes of blood-sucking and chewing lice, the parasitic plant Rhopalocnemis phalloides, the red alga Rhodosorus marinus and other members of the Stylonematophyceae, diplonemid flagellates, and some Cnidaria. Consideration of the coding content of the remnant chloroplast genomes indicates that organelles may preferentially retain genes for proteins important in initiating assembly of complexes, and the same is largely true for mitochondria. We propose a new principle, of CO-location for COntrol of Assembly (COCOA), indicating the importance of retaining these genes in the organelle.
