The cross-trophic networks between protists and (A) fungi and (B) bacteria. Structural equation models showing the contrasting patterns of protists on the accumulation of (C) fungal and (D) bacterial ...
Venom is not exclusive to animals—plants, fungi, protists, bacteria, and even viruses use venom-like mechanisms for defense, predation, and competition. Dodder - Cuscuta on a potato bush. Review ...
Fungi are neither plants nor animals. The kingdom fungi is one of the six kingdoms of life, along with plants, animals, protists, bacteria and archaea. Molds and yeasts are part of the kingdom fungi, ...
In the world of microbes, organisms like viruses and bacteria get a lot of attention. But now, researchers are beginning to study other unicellular life forms, like archaea, and protists. Protists ...
A study by ETH Zurich explores how bacteria can establish endosymbiotic relationships with fungi. Researchers injected E. coli and Mycetohabitans into the fungus Rhizopus microsporus, finding that ...
Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes. In new research published this week, a team led by ...
The most common groups of soil protists behave exactly like Pac-Man: moving through the soil matrix, gobbling up bacteria according to a new article. Pac-Man, the open-mouthed face of the most ...
Among the large cast of microbiome players, bacteria have been hogging the spotlight. But the single-celled organisms known as protists are finally getting the starring role they deserve. Among the ...
When classifying bacteria and fungi, morphological features are very relevant. Colony morphology is a useful tool widely used to classify and define them by researchers. Carefully studied and used ...
