Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

Strategy for discovering protist – bacterial interactions in the ocean. The strategy relied on working at-sea where uncultivated cells could be interrogated without any form of fixation. The cartoon ...

A predatory protist selected and sorted (separated from all other free-living creatures and particles) at sea using patterns of how laser light scatters from the cell and fluorescence staining. Credit ...

perkinsii, an ancestral species of protist. This unicellular organism separated from the animal evolutionary line more than a billion years ago, offering valuable insight into the mechanisms that ...

The disease is caused by a pathogenic protist that has somehow travelled thousands of miles to infect its hosts. The parasite in question is called Maullinia, and only a handful of studies have ...

To visualize how the immune cells are behaving in response to the protist activity, we will stain different immune cells and use flow cytometry to monitor how they respond and interact with protists.

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes.
