    "why is there such a large morphological diversity in shell-bearing #amoebae and what is the function of shells anyway? We knew for a long time that #Arcellinida are masters of the #cytoskeleton as they use it to build their elaborate shells. It was unknown that they use both, the cytoskeleton and shell, in combination to function as small apex #predators in their systems."

  2. Advanced genetic techniques and #microscopy offer new insights into anaerobic ciliate and methanogen #symbiosis phys.org/news/2024-10-advanced

    Methanogenic #symbionts of anaerobic #ciliates are host and habitat specific academic.oup.com/ismej/article #ISEPpapers by @joro

    "This study provides a clearer understanding of how anaerobic ciliates have evolved a mix transmission mode to both maintain and replace their symbionts over time"
