  • Protozoan Fauna of Freshwater Habitats in South Dum Dum Municipality, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal
    Journal of Academia and Industrial Research (JAIR) Volume 3, Issue 3 August 2014 139 ISSN: 2278-5213 RESEARCH ARTICLE Protozoan Fauna of Freshwater Habitats in South Dum Dum Municipality, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal J. Chitra Protozoology Section, Lower Invertebrate Division, M Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700053, India [email protected]; +91 98315 47265 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Wetlands of South Dum Dum Municipality were focused to reveal the status of the planktonic protozoan fauna in detail. A total of 37 different sites were selected and plankton samples from these sites were collected. About 16 sp. of protozoa were identified from few localities from the present investigation. Eight species of rhizopoda belonged to 4 genera, 4 family (Pelomyxidae, Arcellidae, Centropyxidae and Difflugiidae) and 2 order (Pelobintida and Arcellinida), Four species of flagellate belongs to 2 genera, 1 family (Euglinidae) and 1 order (Euglenida), 4 species of ciliate belongs to 4 genera, 4 family (Colepidae, Vorticellidae, Euplotidae and Paramaeciidae), 2 order (Prorodontida and Peritrichida) and 2 suborder (Sporadotrichinia and Peniculina). Among 37 localities, protozoans were observed only in L2, L3, L8, L9, L12, L13, L15, L17, L18, L19, L21, L24, L26, L32, L33, L34 and L36 localities. Protozoan diversity and their abundance were noticed higher in L12, L18, L21, L26, L33 and L34 localities. Euglena viridis, E. acus, E. oxyuris and Phacus acumininata, Pelomyxa palustris, Vorticella companula were found to be higher in abundance and distribution. Keywords: South Dum Dum municipality, planktonic protozoan, Euglena viridis, abundance, distribution. Introduction Dumdum Park, Amarpalli, Telipukur, Nager Bazar, Protozoa are highly abundant in all aquatic habitats and Patipukur and Dum Dum were selected and the plankton greatly involved in food chain (Finlay, 1997).

  • Testate Amoebae from South Vietnam Waterbodies with the Description of New Species Difflugia Vietnamicasp
    Acta Protozool. (2018) 57: 215–229 www.ejournals.eu/Acta-Protozoologica ACTA doi:10.4467/16890027AP.18.016.10092 PROTOZOOLOGICA LSID urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:AEE9D12D-06BD-4539-AD97-87343E7FDBA3 Testate Amoebae from South Vietnam Waterbodies with the Description of New Species Difflugia vietnamicasp. nov. Hoan Q. TRANa, Yuri A. MAZEIb, c a Vietnamese-Russian Tropical Center, 63 Nguyen Van Huyen, Nghia Do, Cau Giay, Ha Noi, Vietnam b Department of Hydrobiology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia c Department of Zoology and Ecology, Penza State University, Penza, Russia Abstract. Testate amoebae in Vietnam are still poorly investigated. We studied species composition of testate amoebae in 47 waterbodies of South Vietnam provinces including natural lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, rivers, and irrigation channels. A total of 109 species and subspe- cies belonging to 16 genera, 9 families were identified from 191 samples. Thirty-five species and subspecies were observed in Vietnam for the first time. New speciesDifflugia vietnamica sp. nov. is described. The most species-rich genera are Difflugia (46 taxa), Arcella (25) and Centropyxis (14). Centropyxis aculeata was the most common species (observed in 68.1% samples). Centropyxis aerophila sphagniсola, Arcella discoides, Difflugia schurmanni and Lesquereusia modesta were characterised by a frequency of occurrence >20%. Other spe- cies were rarer. The species accumulation curve based on the entire dataset of this work was unsaturated and well fitted by equation S = 19.46N0.33. Species richness per sample in natural lakes and wetlands were significantly higher than that of rivers (p < 0.001). The result of the Spearman rank test shows weak or statistically insignificant relationships between species richness and water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity.

Ferreira O BJGEO S DOI: 10.1590/2317-4889202020190095 Brazilian Journal of Geology D ESDE 1946 Dawn of metazoans: to what extent was this influenced by the onset of “modern-type plate tectonics”? Umberto G. Cordani1* , Thomas R. Fairchild1 , Carlos E. Ganade1 , Marly Babinski1 , Juliana de Moraes Leme1 Abstract The appearance of complex megascopic multicellular eukaryotes in the Ediacaran occurred just when the dynamics of a cooling Earth allowed establishment of a new style of global tectonics that continues to the present as “modern-type plate tectonics”. The advent of this style was first registered in 620 Ma-old coesite-bearing Ultra-High Pressure eclogites within the Transbrasiliano-Kandi mega-shear zone along the site of the West Gondwana Orogeny (WGO). These eclogites comprise the oldest evidence of slab-pull deep subduction capable of inducing con- tinental collisions and producing high-relief Himalayan-type mega-mountains. Life, prior to this time, was essentially microscopic. Yet with increasing Neoproterozoic oxygenation and intensified influx of nutrients to Ediacaran oceans, resulting from the erosion of these mountains, complex macroscopic heterotrophic eukaryotes arose and diversified, taking the biosphere to a new evolutionary threshold. The repeated elevation of Himalayan-type mega-mountains ever since then has continued to play a fundamental role in nutrient supply and biosphere evolution. Other authors have alluded to the influence of Gondwana mountain-building upon Ediacaran evolution, however we claim here to have identified when and where it began.

  • Conicocassis, a New Genus of Arcellinina (Testate Lobose Amoebae)
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Conicocassis, a new genus of Arcellinina (testate lobose amoebae) Nawaf A. Nasser and R. Timothy Patterson ABSTRACT Superfamily Arcellinina (informally known as thecamoebians or testate lobose amoebae) are a group of shelled benthic protists common in most Quaternary lacus- trine sediments. They are found worldwide, from the equator to the poles, living in a variety of fresh to brackish aquatic and terrestrial habitats. More than 130 arcellininid species and strains are ascribed to the genus Centropyxis Stein, 1857 within the family Centropyxidae Jung, 1942, which includes species that are distinguished by having a dorsoventral-oriented and flattened beret-like test (shell). Conicocassis, a new arcel- lininid genus of Centropyxidae differs from other genera of the family, specifically genus Centropyxis and its type species C. aculeata (Ehrenberg, 1932), by having a unique test comprised of two distinct components; a generally ovoid to subspherical, dorsoventral-oriented test body, with a pronounced asymmetrically positioned, funnel- like flange extending from a small circular aperture. The type species of the new genus, Conicocassis pontigulasiformis (Beyens et al., 1986) has previously been reported from peatlands in Germany, the Netherlands and Austria, as well as very wet mosses and aquatic environments in High Arctic regions of Europe and North America. The occurrence of the species in lacustrine environments in the central Northwest Ter- ritories extends the known geographic distribution of the genus in North America con- siderably southward.

Testate amoebae have been widely used 14 to reconstruct peatland hydrology in the Northern Hemisphere, but in the Southern Hemisphere 15 research is still needed to assess their proficiency as a palaeohydrological proxy and to develop 16 robust transfer functions. Here we examine the ecology of testate amoebae in several high altitude 17 mires in south-eastern Australia and present the first transfer function for the continent. Euglypha 18 tuberculata type, Centropyxis platystoma type and Assulina muscorum were the most common taxa 19 in our modern samples. Water-table depth was the primary environmental variable determining 20 testate amoebae assemblages and therefore transfer functions were developed for this ecological 21 factor. We found that the performance of various all-species and species-pruned transfer functions 22 were statistically robust, with R2 values of around 0.8 and Root Mean Squared Error of Prediction 23 (RMSEP) values of about 7 cm.

Major questions concerning the diversity and the distribution of protists remain 2 completely unresolved. Arcellinida testate amoebae are an excellent group from which to get insights into these questions because they are easy to collect, pre- sent in diff erent habitats and they build a shell of characteristic morphology that remains even after the organism’s death. In this group, both cosmopolitan and restricted distribution patterns have been documented. Some morphospecies such as Apodera vas(=Nebela vas) , Alocodera cockayni or the whole genus Certesella have been reported as one of the most convincing examples of heterotrophic protist s with restricted distributions (Foissner, 2006 ; Smith and Wilkinson, 2007 ; Smith et al., 2008 ).

Protein secretion and encystation in Acanthamoeba Alvaro de Obeso Fernández del Valle Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2018 Abstract Free-living amoebae (FLA) are protists of ubiquitous distribution characterised by their changing morphology and their crawling movements. They have no common phylogenetic origin but can be found in most protist evolutionary branches. Acanthamoeba is a common FLA that can be found worldwide and is capable of infecting humans. The main disease is a life altering infection of the cornea named Acanthamoeba keratitis. Additionally, Acanthamoeba has a close relationship to bacteria. Acanthamoeba feeds on bacteria. At the same time, some bacteria have adapted to survive inside Acanthamoeba and use it as transport or protection to increase survival. When conditions are adverse, Acanthamoeba is capable of differentiating into a protective cyst.
