Book Synopsis Ecology of Protozoa by : Tom M. Fenchel
Download or read book Ecology of Protozoa written by Tom M. Fenchel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for ecologists and protozoologists. Ecologists who study environments and biotic communities in which protozoa are im portant should find this book especially useful. During the last decade it has become clear that protozoa play important roles in natural eco systems, but few ecologists have a feeling for the functional properties and the diversity of these organisms. Protozoa pose or exemplify many general problems of population and community ecology, and of evo lutionary biology. In most respects the general ecological properties of protozoa are not fundamentally different from those of larger organisms; yet, due to their small size, short generation times, and ubiquitous oc currence they often present ecological phenomena in a new and dif ferent light. To this should be added that protozoa are well-suited for experimental work. Despite these advantages, the study of protozoa has played a relatively modest role in the development of ecology and ev olutionary biology, primarily, I believe, because most ecologists are unfamiliar with these organisms. I hope this book will attract more attention to these favorable characteristics of protozoa. I also hope that this book may make protozoologists aware of new aspects of their pet organisms. For a long time (that is, until the fun damental distinction between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells was rec ognized) protozoa were believed to represent the simplest form of life. They were therefore extensively used for the experimental study of basic questions of cell biology.

This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Editor: Peter Calow, Department of Zoology, University of Sheffield, England The main aim of this series will be to illustrate and to explain the way organisms 'make a living' in nature. At the heart of this - their func tional biology - is the way organisms acquire and then make use of resources in metabolism, movement, growth, reproduction, and so on. These processes will form the fundamental framework of all the books in the series. Each book will concentrate on a particular taxon (species, family, class or even phylum) and will bring together information on the form, physiology, ecology and evolutionary biology of the group. The aim will be not only to describe how organisms work, but also to consider why they have come to work in that way. By concentrating on taxa which are well known, it is hoped that the series will not only illustrate the success of selection, but also show the constraints imposed upon it by the physiological, morphological and developmental limita tions of the groups. Another important feature of the series will be its organismic orienta tion. Each book will emphasise the importance of functional integra tion in the day-to-day lives and the evolution of organisms. This is crucial since, though it may be true that organisms can be considered as collections of gene-determined traits, they nevertheless interact with their environment as integrated wholes and it is in this context that individual traits have been subjected to natural selection and have evolved.

Book Synopsis New Insights on the Ecology of Free-living Heterotrophic Nanoflagellates Based on the Use of Molecular Biological Approaches by : Ee Lin Lim

This book was released on 1997 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanoplanktonic protists comprise a diverse assemblage of flagellate species responsible for various trophic processes in marine and freshwater ecosystems. Current methods for identifying small protists do not readily permit identification and enumeration of nanoplanktonic flagellates in cultures or field samples. The aim of this study was to apply molecular biological techniques for identification and enumeration of nanoflagellate taxa in water samples. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rONA) amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) differentiated pure cultures of heterotrophic nanoflagellates according to established taxonomic classification at the generic and species level. In addition, RFLP analysis of amplified SSU rONA permitted discrimination of polymorphic forms among species of flagellates from the genus Paraphysomonas. A fluorescent in situ hybridization method that uses rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes for counting protists from cultures and environmental water samples was developed. Preserved cells were intensely labeled with multiple eukaryote-specific oligonucleotide probes end-labeled with biotin and detected by fluorescein (FITC)-avidin. This probe hybridization method gave estimates of nanoplankton abundances that were often more representative of natural abundances than estimates obtained by commonly employed fluorochrome stains. The geographical distribution and seasonal abundance of the cosmopolitan heterotrophic flagellate, Paraphysomonas imperforata was examined in coastal waters using species-specific oligonucleotide probes. P. imperforata was found to occur at extremely low abundances in coastal environments, constituting ≤1% of the TNAN. However, P. imperforata often dominated the nanoplankton (up to 98% of TNAN) when water samples were enriched with bacteria. P. imperforata appears to be an opportunistic species capable of growing rapidly to high abundances when prey are abundant. Water temperature, small differences in the absolute abundance of P. imperforata, and nanoplankton grazers appeared to play a role in determining P. imperforata dominance. Results from this study also suggest that enrichment cultivation or perhaps incubations in general can select for nanoflagellates such as P. imperforata that may not be representative of abundant oceanic species.

Download or read book Marine Protists written by Susumu Ohtsuka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book provides a unique overview of advances in the biology and ecology of marine protists. Nowadays marine protistology is a hot spot in science to disclose life phenomena using the latest techniques. Although many protistological textbooks deal with the cytology, genetics, ecology, and pathology of specific organisms, none keeps up with the quick pace of new discoveries on the diversity and dynamics of marine protists in general. The bookMarine Protists: Diversity and Dynamics gives an overview of current research on the phylogeny, cytology, genomics, biology, ecology, fisheries, applied sciences, geology and pathology of marine free-living and symbiotic protists. Poorly known but ecologically important protists such as labyrinthulids and apostome ciliates are also presented in detail. Special attention is paid to complex interactions between marine protists and other organisms including human beings. An understanding of the ecological roles of marine protists is essential for conservation of nature and human welfare. This book will be of great interest not only to scientists and students but also to a larger audience, to give a better understanding of protists’ diverse roles in marine ecosystems.
Download or read book Soil Protozoa written by J. F. Darbyshire and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protozoa are active components of the soil microfauna. For example, they may stimulate bacterial metabolism and some fungal metabolites can lyse protozoa. They may be predators of bacteria and hence have a role in biological control. Their presence in groundwaters can be used as an indicator of pollution, while they are also being used to treat sewage in the activated-sludge and reed-bed processes. They are believed to be major secondary decomposers in soil and increased knowledge about these microorganisms is important to sustain soil fertility and food production. This book is the first in English for 65 years devoted entirely to soil protozoology. It is written by experienced microbiologists and should be of interest to protozoologists, other microbiologists, and soil scientists.
Download or read book Soil Protists written by Stefan Geisen and published by Sudwestdeutscher Verlag Fur Hochschulschriften AG. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protists are by far the most diverse and abundant eukaryotes in soils. Nevertheless, very little is known about individual representatives, the diversity and community composition and ecological functioning of these important organisms. For instance, soil protists are commonly lumped into a single functional unit, i.e. bacterivores. This work tackles missing knowledge gaps on soil protists and common misconceptions using multi-methodological approaches including cultivation, microcosm experiments and environmental sequencing. In a first part, several new species and genera of amoeboid protists are described showing their immense unknown diversity. In the second part, the enormous complexity of soil protists communities is highlighted using cultivation- and sequence-based approaches. In the third part, the present of diverse mycophagous and nematophagous protists are shown in functional studies on cultivated taxa and their environmental importance supported by sequence-based approaches. This work is just a start for a promising future of soil Protistology that is likely to find other important roles of these diverse organisms.
