Chemosynthetic symbionts have been found in hosts from seven phyla, including ciliates, molluscs, nematodes, annelids (for example, tube-worms) and arthropods (for example, shrimp), but according ...

Main reserach interests are the systematics and biodiversity of ciliated protists (ciliates) inlcuding: (1) morphology and morphogenesis; (2) molecular phylogeny; (3) use as bioindicators of water ...

and multicellular body plans (e.g., ciliates and stramenopiles). In general, early-divergent persistent (EDP) lineages are dominated by unicellular species (e.g., prasinophytes in the ...

A group of 40 young male and female guinea pigs arrived at a pet 'superstore' after they were purchased from a local commercial breeder. Within one week, moderate inappetence was noted in the group.

Diversity of Microbial Symbionts Associated with Invertebrates Symbiodinium spp. are highly diverse and can occur in symbiosis with mollusks, sponges, flatworms, protists, some ciliates, and ...
