The extraordinary diversity, biology and complexity of #protists pose significant challenges to the #genomics community. That’s why a new collaboration will look to address some of the major technical barriers for sequencing protists from bulk cultures and the environment.

Day 12- #teardrop

Thought about my years teaching intro bio and the hidden world in a drop of pond water. Teardrop shaped euglenoids were the beginnings of this doodle in colored pencil and ink on tinted paper.

Only 5 more days to submit abstracts! #ASLO2027 #deoxygenation and its links to #bacteria, #archaea & #protists

#Ciliates are really three dimensional! So many details visible with the opal blue staining of Bresslau – and a permanent slide in just a few minutes! #Ciliophora #protists

Grace and fascination underwater – Zoothamnium pelagicum streching out with a graceful terminal zooid; stalk and microzooids in the colony "triplet" are covered with unidentified bacterial epibionts. #Plankton of the northern Adriatic Sea #Protists

Three Zoothamnium pelagicum colonies loosely attached to each other in the #plankton of the northern Adriatic Sea. Close up shows epibiont bacteria over the colony - perhaps another trophic symbiosis, just like between Z. niveum and its thiotrophic epibionts? #protists
