[email protected] Abstract Microbial interactions are crucial for Earth ecosystem function, yet our knowledge about them is limited and has so far mainly existed as scattered records. Here, we have surveyed the literature involving planktonic protist interactions and gathered the information in a manually curated Protist Interaction DAtabase (PIDA). In total, we have registered ~2,500 ecological interactions from ~500 publications, spanning the last 150 years. -

Abstract The broad-scale tree of eukaryotes is constantly improving, but the evolutionary origin of several major groups remains unknown. Resolving the phylogenetic position of these ‘orphan’ groups is important, especially those that originated early in evolution, because they represent missing evolutionary links between established groups. Telonemia is one such orphan taxon for which little is known. The group is composed of molecularly diverse biflagellated protists, often prevalent although not abundant in aquatic environments. -

Diversity and Distribution of Heterotrophic Flagellates in the Arctic Ocean
Diversity and distribution of heterotrophic flagellates in the Arctic Ocean Thèse Mary Thaler Doctorat en Océanographie Philosophiae Doctor (PhD.) Québec, Canada © Mary Thaler, 2014 2 Résumé Dans les environnements marins arctiques, les protistes unicellulaires constituent les premiers maillons du réseau trophique. Les flagellés hétérotrophes (HF) jouent un rôle clé au sein de ce réseau trophique comme brouteurs de bactéries et de phytoplanctons, étant broutés à leur tour par les microzooplanctons comme les dinoflagellés ou les ciliés. Les scientifiques prévoient que les changements environnementaux extrêmes qui ont présentement lieu dans l‟Océan Arctique transformeront ces communautés de protistes. Le sujet de cette thèse porte sur la composition taxonomique des communautés marines HF dans l‟Océan Arctique, et leur réponse aux facteurs environnementaux. L‟approche a été d‟utiliser le comptage sur microscope à l‟aide de l‟hybridation fluorescente in situ pour évaluer l‟abondance de deux taxons HF importants, le genre Cryothecomonas et le clade MAST-1 parmi les straménopiles marins. Une approche complémentaire a été de décrire la répartition de tous les taxons HF, y compris l‟ordre Cryomonadida, les straménopiles marins, Picozoa, Telonemia, et les choanoflagellés, par l‟utilisation du séquençage à haut débit. Les résultats des deux approches nous ont permis de capturer les tendances environnementales sur une large échelle géographique dans l‟Arctique. Il a été mis en évidence une composition taxonomique structurée, principalement dû à l‟influence de la glace de mer et d‟autres facteurs environnementaux. Les cellules de Cryothecomonas semblaient provenir de la glace de mer, et au sein de la colonne d‟eau ils se trouvaient les plus nombreuses près du bord de glace. -

Since 2006, 18 novel Rickettsiales genera inhabiting protists, such as ciliates and amoebae, have been described. In this work, we character- ize two novel bacterial endosymbionts from Paramecium collected near Bloomington, IN. Both endosymbiotic species inhabit the cytoplasm of the same host. The Gram-negative bacterium “Candidatus Bealeia paramacronuclearis” occurs in clumps and is fre- quently associated with the host macronucleus. With its electron-dense cytoplasm and a distinct halo surrounding the cell, it is easily distinguishable from the second smaller
