Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes. In new research published this week in Cell Host ...

In Singapore, scientists have been studying a particular subtype called Blastocystis ST7. This version of Blastocystis is ...

Our comprehensive search suggests that venom delivery systems fully analogous to those of animals exist among plants, fungi, protists, bacteria, and viruses. Thus, venomous organisms are far more ...

Bacteria are in the majority in the gut microbiome; other significant inhabitants — archaea, viruses, protists and fungi — have been studied far less. Our project will focus on protists ...

The short answer is they stole it, about a billion and a half years ago, when single-celled organisms called protists engulfed photosynthesizing bacteria. Over time, through the transfer of genes ...
