Jan 1, 2012 · Few tasks are as challenging as trying to use dichotomous keys and other primary literature to identify marine macroalgae. Even a taxonomic specialist, when confronted with exclusively vegetative material (reproduction often an indication of ordinal and familial affinities) or even with reproductive material when considering species within a genus, can find frustration in this seemingly simple ...
Feb 15, 2021 · Marine protists have traditionally been assumed to be lowly diverse and cosmopolitan. Yet, several recent studies have shown that many protist species actually consist of cryptic complexes of ...
Sep 27, 2023 · Seaweed is a nutritious, versatile, and pervasive organism. It is a type of macroalgae that can be used to make products we use every day — including fertilizers, animal feed, and cosmetics. It has even been described as a "superfood." In addition to being good for you, it's also good for the environment and the economy.
Apr 15, 2021 · As phylum-level phylogeny is not resolved for all protist species, the protist dataset was grouped by supergroup designations according to Burki et al. 64. For the plots, phyla represented by less ...
Nov 6, 2012 · A combination of novel high-throughput imaging/sorting with newer genetic technologies—including single-amplified-genome methods—opens exciting avenues in protistan metabarcoding. A protist barcoding protocol such as that outlined in Figure 3 will allow collection of the data necessary to set up a representative protist species reference ...
Single protist cells range in size from less than a micrometer to three meters in length, to hectares in area. Protist cells may be enveloped by animal-like cell membranes or plant-like cell walls. Others are encased in glassy silica-based shells or wound with pellicles of interlocking protein strips (Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\)). The pellicle ...
Sep 26, 2023 · Diversity and relative abundance of the eukaryotic community. The epiphytic protist community (8 to 100 μm fraction) on macroalgae was represented by 2153 ASVs, based on metabarcoding of the V4 ...
