Acanthamoeba is an opportunistic protozoa, which exists widely in nature and is mainly
distributed in soil and water. Acanthamoeba usually exists in two forms, trophozoites and …

Protists are the most diverse eukaryotes. These microbes are keystone organisms of soil
ecosystems and regulate essential processes of soil fertility such as nutrient cycling and …

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil
fungi. ie dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi …

This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk.
Microbiol. 59 (5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the …

A survey of Acanthamoeba in 100 public freshwater sources in 28 provinces across
Thailand has identified 9 genotypes comprising T2/6, T3-T5, T9, T11, T12, T18 and a novel …

Amoebozoa is the eukaryotic supergroup sister to Obazoa, the lineage that contains the
animals and Fungi, as well as their protistan relatives, and the breviate and apusomonad …

Phylogenomic analyses of hundreds of protein-coding genes aimed at resolving
phylogenetic relationships is now a common practice. However, no software currently exists …

The traditional classification of the Myxomycetes (Myxogastrea) into five orders
(Echinosteliales, Liceales, Trichiales, Stemonitidales and Physarales), used in all …

Phylogenomic analyses have boosted our understanding of the evolutionary trajectories of
all living forms by providing continuous improvements to the tree of life. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Within …

Recent phylogenetic analyses position certain “orphan” protist lineages deep in the tree of
eukaryotic life, but their exact placements are poorly resolved. We conducted phylogenomic …
