#Mutualism on the edge: Understanding the #Paramecium–#Chlorella symbiosis https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.3002563

"Exploring the mechanisms that underpin #symbiosis requires an understanding of how these complex interactions are maintained in diverse model systems. The ciliate #protist, Paramecium bursaria, offers a valuable insight into how emergent endosymbiotic interactions have evolved."

#introductions

Hello! I'm a #PostDoc in evolutionary #protistology. I study #evolution, #biodiversity, and #symbiosis in #protists ( = eukaryotic #microbes = #SingleCelled critters more complex than bacteria - eg. #amoebae, #ciliates, #flagellates, #microalgae, etc.) mostly using #genomics and #bioinformatics.

I come from #Prague, CZ & currently live in #Orsay, FR.

I'm interseted in #diversity & #evolution of all life, #earth & #space #science, #languages, #religion, #progressive politics.
