Top Tweets for #Flagellates
The eukaryotic phylum Heterolobosea includes #flagellates, #amoebae, and amoeboflagellates, notably the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri. New transcriptome data reveal the #evolution of Heterolobosea and two instances of genetic code alteration.

Flagellates are an essential component of #lignocellulose degradation in lower #termites. Most #flagellates are colonized by various #bacteria. New taxa of flagellate endosymbionts from the Bifidobacteriaceae family have been discovered in a number of termite species. While they retained the Bifidobacterium shunt for sugar fermentation, many other metabolic functions were lost. Strikingly, the genus Ancillula retained the ability to synthesize amino acids and vitamins, likely sharing them with the flagellates, whereas another genus, Opitulatrix, lost most of its biosynthetic potential, suggesting a breakdown in mutualistic #symbiosis.

Genome reduction is common among intracellular #bacteria, and Endomicrobia from termite gut #flagellates are no exception. Some have such a reduced genome that they are forced to steal #ATP from the host.
Beautiful work from @Undine_M at @mbiojournal

Flagellates from #termite guts. Story of acquisition, loss, and co-evolution.
Some termites digest wood with the help of #flagellates. But how those eukaryotes occured in the gut and evolved there is still a black box.

Clostridia that steal ATP from the host
Intracellular #clostridia of #termite #flagellates have highly reduced genomes and contain no genes for independent #ATP synthesis. Instead transport system to obtain ATP from the host cell present.

#Flagellates of the #termite M. darwiniensis. Mixotricha paradoxa is famous for its ectosymbiotic #spirochetes. Bacteria move their host. Another flagellate Deltotrichonympha sp. that moves with its own flagella.
Mastotermes darwiniensis is a #termite from northern #Australia. It is considered the most primitive living termite and thus the closest one to #cockroaches. Like many other #termites, M. darwinensis eat wood with the help of #flagellates in their intestines.
Dear #protist Twitter, I need your help! We're looking for swimming/movement speeds for #ciliates, #flagellates, #rotifers and particularly #TestateAmoeba. Any suggestions for literature/resources on this?
Please RT and spread the joy π
Surface area of browned #Chaetomorpha was full of microorganisms, not only #diatoms, but also green/red algae, #flagellates, #ciliates and bacteria. Small but high biodiversity world.
The fidelity of control goes even further - most #ciliates and #flagellates perform helical klinotaxis (a form of chiral navigation), e.g. see this work from @friedrich_group and colleagues https://t.co/cCHSDqhOpD in the context of sperm #chemotaxis! [39/N]

Meanwhile many #protists (#ciliates, #flagellates) use helical klinotaxis for navigation, e.g. to orient toward light sources... this is a particular enlightening paper https://t.co/0thyIyd24G [10/N]
