Meanings of protist in English

Specific fertilization treatments impacted both the structure and function of protist communities.

Predation-induced shifts in bacterial community composition could be linked to phenotypic protist traits.

But that's one of the few things we have in common with this pond-dwelling protist.

Cercozoa are a highly diverse protist phylum in soils and in the phyllosphere of plants.

Here, we investigated how soil amendments affect protist communities and inferred potential interactions with bacteria and fungi.

Subsequent analyses revealed strong spatial structuring of protist communities between compartments, although oomycetes appeared more specialized than Cercozoa.

The addition of individual biocontrol bacteria and fungi further altered the soil protist community composition, and eventually function.

The ubiquity hypothesis assumes the lack of latitudinal gradients in protist diversity due to their unlimited global dispersal.

As with bacterial communities, protist community structure was consistently different in the surface microlayer when compared with subsurface water.

One possible cause of the surface microlayer-specific bacterial community is a surface microlayer-specific protist community selectively grazing on the bacterioneuston.

Euglena mutabilis is a protist ubiquitously found in extreme environments such as acid mine drainages which are often rich in arsenic.

Since each complex represents a set of paired homologous chromosomes, it follows that the haploid chromosome number of this protist is nine.

Thus, the RPB1 gene has apparently retained some phylogenetically meaningful signal, making it worthwhile to obtain sequences from more diverse protist taxa.

We suggest that the benthic realm may therefore be the world's largest reservoir of marine protist diversity, with most taxa at present undescribed.

We used a shotgun metagenomics approach to investigate the taxonomic and functional changes of the bacterial community after five days protist predation on bacteria.

Network analysis integrating protist, bacterial and fungal community data, placed protists as a central hub in the soil microbiome, linking diverse bacterial and fungal populations.
