Amoebae: The microscopic health threat lurking in our water supplies. Are we taking them seriously?
There’s a sinister health threat we’re not taking seriously enough, a new paper argues – and it’s not a virus, bacterium, nor even a fungus. It’s the amoebae, free-living organisms that can survive ...
Most eukaryotic microorganisms carry out sexual reproduction during their life cycles. Although significant progress has been made in the study of mating for several fungal species, little is known ...
An International team from China University of Geosciences, University of York and Lomonosov Moscow State University have studied the impact of wildfire on testate amoebae—one of the dominant ...
Researchers published a study confirming the discovery of a new process for producing active complex compounds in amoebae. In particular, studying the process of olivetolic acid production (a compound ...
image: Reconstitution of Amoebozoa's evolution shows significant Precambrian species diversity. This study changes the view of how life evolved in the very remote past and deepens the understanding of ...
Researchers have learned that the bacterium that causes bovine tuberculosis, called Mycobacterium bovis, is able to survive and grow in a type of single-celled organism called an amoeba, that lives in ...
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a powerful social study system because of the hard work of generations of cell and molecular biologists who have figured out many of the mechanisms of its ...
A group of environmental and public health scientists is sounding the alarm on a largely overlooked but increasingly dangerous group of pathogens: free living amoebae. In a new perspective article ...
