Sequencing, Chromosome-scale Assembly, and Annotation of the Genome of the Halophilic Nanoflagellate Halocafeteria seosinensis

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Halocafeteria seosinensis using long-read sequencing, enabling detailed genomic analysis of a halophilic protist.

First report of Hexamita nelsoni in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis): morphology, phylogeny, and host-parasite interaction

The paper identifies and characterizes Hexamita nelsoni in blue mussels, showing its presence in digestive glands and mantel, and suggests horizontal transmission from adult to larvae.

The Anaeramoeba symbiosome: a single contiguous organelle that doubles the cell's membrane surface

This study characterizes the symbiosome in Anaeramoeba flamelloides, revealing it as a single interconnected membrane organelle with extensive extracellular connections.

An anaerobic Legionellales symbiont in Anaeramoeba pumila

The paper describes a new anaerobic Legionellales symbiont in Anaeramoeba pumila, highlighting its unique metabolic strategies and genomic features.

Anaerobic protist survival in microcosms is dependent on microbiome metabolic function.

The paper shows that protist survival in anaerobic microcosms depends on bacterial metabolic capabilities rather than taxonomy, highlighting hydrogen exchange in syntrophic interactions.

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.

Chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the social amoeba Dictyostelium firmibasis

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation for D. firmibasis, improving upon previous low-quality assemblies.
