Endosymbiosis between protists and bacteria represents a fundamental biological phenomenon that has shaped the course of eukaryotic evolution. These intimate associations, in which one organism ...

The cross-trophic networks between protists and (A) fungi and (B) bacteria. Structural equation models showing the contrasting patterns of protists on the accumulation of (C) fungal and (D) bacterial ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes. In new research published this week, a team led by ...

Amoebae receive surprising support in defense against viruses: The bacteria they are infected with prevent them from being destroyed by giant viruses. Microbiologists have investigated how a virus ...

Some very simple organisms are capable of very complex behavior, like fungi that exhibit signs of memory or bacterial cells that can orchestrate their activity and work as a larger organism.

The types of ocean bacteria known to absorb carbon dioxide from the air require more energy -- in the form of carbon -- and other resources when they're simultaneously infected by viruses and face ...
