A hydrogen-producing mitochondrion in an anaerobic eukaryotrophic rhizarian

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to analyze the mitochondrial metabolism of a novel anaerobic rhizarian, revealing an atypical hydrogen-producing mitochondrion with a modified tricarboxylic acid pathway.

DIVERGENT TRAJECTORIES FOR ANAEROBIC MITOCHONDRIAL EVOLUTION IN BREVIATE PROTISTS

This study investigates the evolutionary pathways of anaerobic mitochondrial adaptations in breviate protists by analyzing transcriptomes and predicting MRO proteomes across eight species.

Charting the landscape of cytoskeletal diversity in microbial eukaryotes

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy applied to 221 cultured planktonic eukaryotes maps diverse microtubule and centrin-based cytoskeletons, including dinoflagellate apical centrin rings and cryptophyte cortical centrin meshes.

Two newly cultivated eukaryotrophic flagellates represent distinct anaerobic lineages

The paper describes two newly cultivated anaerobic eukaryotrophic flagellates, SSF and PG, representing distinct Rhizarian lineages adapted to anoxic conditions.

Extreme mitochondrial reduction in a novel group of free-living metamonads.

The paper investigates mitochondrial reduction in free-living metamonads, finding extreme reduction in some species, including loss of mitochondrial functions and pathways.

Characterisation of Skoliomonas gen. nov., a haloalkaliphilic anaerobe related to barthelonids (Metamonada).

The paper describes a new genus of anaerobic flagellate, Skoliomonas, found in soda lake environments, and places it phylogenetically within the Metamonada clade.
