[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. -

Despite their supposed significant roles in the marine ecosystem, our knowledge of their marine diversity and distribution as well as their life cycles is rather limited. Here we describe the anatomy and morphology of several developmental stages of a phytomyxid symbiosis recently discovered on the petioles of the alien seagrass Halophila stipulacea at a locality in the southeast Aegean Sea. Its earliest stage appeared as whitish spots already on the youngest leaves at the apex of the newly formed rhizomes. The infected host cells grew in volume being filled with plasmodia which resulted in the formation of characteristic macroscopic galls. -

It’s how nature creates itself, on every scale, the snowflake and the snowstorm. — TOM STOPPARD, Arcadia, Act 1, Scene 4 (1993) Much has been written about evolution from the perspective of the history and biology of animals, but significantly less has been writ- ten about the evolutionary biology of plants. Zoocentricism in the biological literature is understandable to some extent because we are after all animals and not plants and because our self- interest is not entirely egotistical, since no biologist can deny the fact that animals have played significant and important roles as the actors on the stage of evolution come and go. The nearly romantic fascination with di- nosaurs and what caused their extinction is understandable, even though we should be equally fascinated with the monarchs of the Carboniferous, the tree lycopods and calamites, and with what caused their extinction (fig. 0.1). Yet, it must be understood that plants are as fascinating as animals, and that they are just as important to the study of biology in general and to understanding evolutionary theory in particular. -
An Integrative Approach Sheds New Light Onto the Systematics
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN An integrative approach sheds new light onto the systematics and ecology of the widespread ciliate genus Coleps (Ciliophora, Prostomatea) Thomas Pröschold1*, Daniel Rieser1, Tatyana Darienko2, Laura Nachbaur1, Barbara Kammerlander1, Kuimei Qian1,3, Gianna Pitsch4, Estelle Patricia Bruni4,5, Zhishuai Qu6, Dominik Forster6, Cecilia Rad‑Menendez7, Thomas Posch4, Thorsten Stoeck6 & Bettina Sonntag1 Species of the genus Coleps are one of the most common planktonic ciliates in lake ecosystems. The study aimed to identify the phenotypic plasticity and genetic variability of diferent Coleps isolates from various water bodies and from culture collections. We used an integrative approach to study the strains by (i) cultivation in a suitable culture medium, (ii) screening of the morphological variability including the presence/absence of algal endosymbionts of living cells by light microscopy, (iii) sequencing of the SSU and ITS rDNA including secondary structures, (iv) assessment of their seasonal and spatial occurrence in two lakes over a one‑year cycle both from morphospecies counts and high‑ throughput sequencing (HTS), and, (v) proof of the co‑occurrence of Coleps and their endosymbiotic algae from HTS‑based network analyses in the two lakes. The Coleps strains showed a high phenotypic plasticity and low genetic variability. The algal endosymbiont in all studied strains was Micractinium conductrix and the mutualistic relationship turned out as facultative. Coleps is common in both lakes over the whole year in diferent depths and HTS has revealed that only one genotype respectively one species, C. viridis, was present in both lakes despite the diferent lifestyles (mixotrophic with green algal endosymbionts or heterotrophic without algae). -
Genetic Diversity of Labyrinthula Spp. in Seagrass Zostera Marina Beds in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea
Genetic diversity of Labyrinthula spp. in seagrass Zostera marina beds in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea Submitted by Matsapume Detcharoen In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biology Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Faculty of Biology August 2015 Abstract Die sogenannte Seegras – „Wasting Disease“ führte in den 1930er Jahren zu einem Massenrückgang des Seegrases Zostera marina im nördlichen Atlantik. Labyrinthula zosterae ist der potentielle Erreger der Krankheit, der zu dem Verlust von Seegrasbetten führen kann. Dieser Organismus infiziert die Blätter des Seegrases. Frühere Studien, die die Vielfalt der Labyrinthula spp untersuchten, basierten auf der Kultivierung von Labyrinthula. Diese Studie ist die erste Studie, die Blattproben zur molekularen Identifizierung von Labyrinthula verwendet und erforscht die Vielfalt der Gattung Labyrinthula. Proben von sechs Standorten wurden untersucht, dabei wurde ein 290 bp lange Teilsequenz der 18S rDNA kloniert und Sanger sequenziert. Das Abgleichen der erhaltenen Sequenzen mit NCBI GenBank mittels des blast Algorithmus ergab, dass die meisten Sequenzen von 77 bis 100% mit L. zosterae übereinstimmen, während inige Sequenzen der Standorte Wackerballig und Sandspollen eine 84-94 prozentige Übereinstimmung mit Labyrinthula spp zeigten. Keine der mutmaßlichen Labyrinthula spp. Sequenzen wurden mit bekannten Sequenzen aus der Datenbank zusammengefasst. Es wurden sieben OTUs generiert. Der Test von verschiedenen DNA-Extraktionmethoden ergab für ein Pflanzen- und ein Gewebe-Extraktionskit ähnliche Ergebnisse. Nichtsdestotrotz hat das Pflanzen-Kit mehr Vorteile wegen geringerer Kosten und dem geringeren Zeitaufwand. Zusammenfassend zeigt diese Studie, dass bisher unbekannte Labyrinthula spp. in den Seegraspopulationen vorkommen, und dass das in dieser Studie verwendete Verfahren für weitere Anwendungen geeignet ist. -

Phylogenetic Classification of Trametes
TAXON 60 (6) • December 2011: 1567–1583 Justo & Hibbett • Phylogenetic classification of Trametes SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY Phylogenetic classification of Trametes (Basidiomycota, Polyporales) based on a five-marker dataset Alfredo Justo & David S. Hibbett Clark University, Biology Department, 950 Main St., Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Alfredo Justo, [email protected] Abstract: The phylogeny of Trametes and related genera was studied using molecular data from ribosomal markers (nLSU, ITS) and protein-coding genes (RPB1, RPB2, TEF1-alpha) and consequences for the taxonomy and nomenclature of this group were considered. Separate datasets with rDNA data only, single datasets for each of the protein-coding genes, and a combined five-marker dataset were analyzed. Molecular analyses recover a strongly supported trametoid clade that includes most of Trametes species (including the type T. suaveolens, the T. versicolor group, and mainly tropical species such as T. maxima and T. cubensis) together with species of Lenzites and Pycnoporus and Coriolopsis polyzona. Our data confirm the positions of Trametes cervina (= Trametopsis cervina) in the phlebioid clade and of Trametes trogii (= Coriolopsis trogii) outside the trametoid clade, closely related to Coriolopsis gallica. The genus Coriolopsis, as currently defined, is polyphyletic, with the type species as part of the trametoid clade and at least two additional lineages occurring in the core polyporoid clade. In view of these results the use of a single generic name (Trametes) for the trametoid clade is considered to be the best taxonomic and nomenclatural option as the morphological concept of Trametes would remain almost unchanged, few new nomenclatural combinations would be necessary, and the classification of additional species (i.e., not yet described and/or sampled for mo- lecular data) in Trametes based on morphological characters alone will still be possible.
