Did you ever wonder why there is such a large morphological diversity in shell-bearing amoebae and what is the function of shells anyway?

From termite symbionts with rotating heads to amoeboid cactus-dwellers, from cannibalistic ex-algae to ciliates thriving in saturated brine

Genomic analysis suggests the oxymonad lineage lost their mitochondria about 100 million years ago.

This newly described protozoan exhibits a completely unpredictable and distinct deviation from the genetic code.

Reduced mitochondria provide an essential function for the cytosolic methionine cycle.

Our study robustly places mitochondria as the immediate sister group of Alphaproteobacteria.

These protists were isolated from anaerobic marine environments. We sequenced the transcriptomes of two species.

We introduce Sanchytriomycota, a new fungal phylum with some unique characteristics.

Our paper on the only purple-green eukaryote know is out! This is a unique eukaryote that harbours two distinct photosynthetic endosymbionts

Hello, ISEP members! Delighted to chat with you again, after a long absence.

This issue will seek to bring together the diverse perspectives of researchers working on DNA sequences from algal communities, uncultured.

Joint research of physicists and biologists brought a surprising result of large amounts of crystalline guanine in algae
