🤩 Thrilled to share the first paper of my PhD project on #protist sexual cycles! 🔄🦠🤍

➡️ Are sexual cycles widespread among protist ?😲

➡️ Is there a hidden sexuality for those we can't cultivate ?🤫

👀Our paper in @JEukMicro might interest you:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jeu.13052

`To date there is evidence of Eukaryotes using the pathway, suggesting it may be more widespread than previously thought:

Hordeum vulgare, barley uses the Entner–Duodoroff pathway.

Phaeodactylum tricornutum diatom model species presents functional phosphogluconate dehydratase and dehoxyphosphogluconate aldolase genes in its genome`

This was a weird one. So pretty and I’d never seen anything like it! The wonderful @microbe_guru over on insta came to my rescue once more and informed me it is a Radiosperma - a protist. I know nothing about them, so I’m off to read a paper.

Who are giant viruses infecting in the ocean?

In a collaborative paper with the Vardi lab, we were able to link many giant virus lineages to protist hosts using #SingleCell #RNASeq. One #protist host (leucocryptos) made up less than 1% of the community, but we could still identify a cryptic viral lineage infecting it, leading to population collapse.
