#unicellular — Public Fediverse posts

The afternoon of the eighth day of the Konstanz School of Collective Behaviour 2025 (#KSCB2025) is devoted to a #keynote by Naama Brenner on #biophysics of #cells, either in #unicellular or #multicellular #organisms

El alga invasora y tóxica Caulerpa taxifolia puede parecer la típica alga pluricelular, pero tampoco es el caso. Se trata de un alga unicelular multinucleada que alcanza 20-60 cm de altura, siendo el organismo unicelular más grande que se conoce.📷Krzysztof Ziarnek #alga #algae #unicelular #unicellular

No es el único caso de célula gigante. Syringammina fragilissima es otro organismo unicelular enorme que alcanza los 20 cm de diámetro, con estructuras de tubos interconectados. #alga #algae #unicelular #unicellular

Esto es una sola célula.

Se trata de Ventricaria ventricosa (Anteriormente Valonia ventricosa, un alga unicelular polinuclear con una enorme vacuola central multilobular. Puede alcanzar los 5 cm de diámetro. #alga #algae #unicelular #unicellular

Rediscovery of rare marine #amoeba Rhabdamoeba marina https://phys.org/news/2023-11-rediscovery-rare-marine-amoeba-rhabdamoeba.html

#Rhabdamoeba marina is a heterotrophic relative of chlorarachnid algae https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jeu.13010

"The study highlights the importance of observing environmental samples for the rediscovery of #unicellular organisms such as R. marina that lack genetic data. Such efforts are indispensable for understanding #MicrobialDiversity."

Journey to the Microcosmos: *The Tube-dwelling Architects Of The Microcosmos*

The transition from #unicellular to #multicellular #life was one of a few major events in the history of life that created new opportunities for more complex biological systems to evolve.

According to a study from 2019, experimental populations evolved multicellular structures not observed in unselected control populations.

I was under the impression that multicellularity may have posed an #evolutionary bottleneck. Clearly that is not the case.
