particularly in their paper of 1962, "The Concept of a Bacterium"; this created, for the first time, a rank above kingdom—a superkingdom or empire—with the two-empire system of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.[7] The two-empire system would later be expanded to the...
Early research on the vaginal microbiota predominantly relied on culture-based or real-time PCR methods, posing inherent limitations in capturing the complete microbial diversity. The advent of next-generation sequencing, particularly amplicon sequencing targeting 16S ribosomal RNA gene or internal transcribe...
1989). Only after Manton and Leedale (1961a,b) discovered by electron microscopy that haptophyte chloroplasts share a bounding membrane with the nucleus, and Gibbs (1962) recognised that most chromophytes have two extra membranes
We also identified 72 plasmid sequences among all strains. Plasmids are well known as one of the most common HGT vectors in prokaryotes [65]. However, they appear to have a more restricted presence inE. anopheliscompared to ICEs, with only 7.96% of strains being plasmid-positive. Plasmids we...
Within scotokaryotes, Metamonada are strongly a clade on Fig. 1 (0.96% support) and the long-branch Trichozoa did not separate from the short-branch Anaeromonadea as on Fig. S1 and some earlier trees (Cavalier-Smith et al. 2015a, b). Figure 1 also provides stronger evidence than ...
Moreover, the FWD diseased tomato harbored higher abundance of Xanthomonadaceae, Bacillaceae, and Fusarium oxysporum, while the healthy tomato contained more Comamonada- ceae, Streptomyces, Trichoderma, Mortierella, and nonpathogenic representatives of Fusarium42,43. All these studies pointed to the ...
Infrakingdom Rhizaria is one of four major subgroups with distinct cell body plans that comprise eukaryotic kingdom Chromista. Unlike other chromists, Rhizaria are mostly heterotrophic flagellates, amoebae or amoeboflagellates, commonly with reticulose (net-like) or filose (thread-like) feeding ps...
