Opis:
Protists are key components of marine microbial communities and hence of the biogeochemical mathematical models that are used to study the interaction between organisms, and the associated cycling of carbon and other nutrients. With increased computing power, models of microbial communities have markedly increased in complexity in the last 20 years, from relatively simple single nutrient currency, nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton-detritus (NPZD) models to plankton functional type (PFT) or trait based models of multiple organisms, or individual based models (IBMs) of specific organisms. However, our recognition, if not parameterisation, of the physiological processes that underpin both autotrophic and heterotrophic protist nutrition and growth arguably have increased faster than our modelling capability, generating a wealth of new modelling challenges. This paper therefore reviews historical development, current capability, and the future directions and challenges in protist based mathematical modelling.

Opis:
Advances in sequencing technology and the environmental genomic approaches have brought attention to the vastness of protist biodiversity. While over much of the world’s oceans the species and phylotypes making up this diversity are assumed to be something previously hidden and now revealed, the recent rapid changes in the Arctic mean that such assumptions may be a simplification. Historical morphological species data can be used to validate new records provided that more of these species are identified using standard molecular markers. Environmental surveys can also go further by identifying species over regions, seasons and depths. High throughput sequencing and bioinformatics tools provide a means of monitoring and eventually predicting the consequences of change. We give an example of how microbial eukaryote communities differ over pan-arctic scales, emphasizing the need for additional sampling and the need for caution in extrapolating the results of one region to the entire Arctic.

Opis:
To introduce the special issue this paper reviews the use of protists as bioindicators. Seven key advantages of protist bioindicators are highlighted, namely: environmental sensitivity, functional importance, distribution, size and numbers, response times, ease of analysis and preservation potential. Protist bioindicators have been used in a wide range of contexts from ecosystem restoration to fire history, and particularly environmental pollution. Most major protist groups have been used as bioindicators with diatoms, foraminifera and testate amoebae particularly widely studied. To increase uptake of protist bioindication techniques in routine environmental monitoring technique development should consider the needs of stakeholders from an early stage. Papers in this special issue reflect the diversity of both protist life and possible bioindicator applications.

Opis:
The application of molecular phylogenetics to research on protists has substantially transformed our understanding of their evolution and systematics. More recently, advances in molecular technology, including high throughput sequencing, has opened new avenues for genomic analyses that elucidate major aspects of protistan biology across all levels of biological organization from cellular to ecosystems. This is a review of recent advances (particularly in the last two decades) of transcriptomic research on heterotrophic and autotrophic protists within three major topics: (i) Physiology and metabolism, (ii) Development and life cycles, and (iii) Environmental and ecological studies. Emphasis is placed on selection of representative research that highlights findings across diverse taxonomic groups within each of the three topics. Examples are drawn from parasitic as well as free-living taxa to provide a broad overview of some of the research strategies, and major findings, that have emerged from application of transcriptomics and related techniques in advancing our understanding of protistan biology.

Opis:
Parasitism is an immensely successful mode of nutrition and parasitic organisms are abundant in most ecosystems. This is also the case for marine planktonic ecosystems in which a large variety of parasitic species are known. Most of these parasites are protists and they infect a wide range of hosts from the marine plankton, ranging from other protists to larger planktonic invertebrates. Parasites often have morphologies and life cycles that are highly specialized as compared to their free-living relatives. However, this does not mean that parasites are necessarily odd or rare phenomena; on the contrary parasites constitute numerically and ecologically important components of the ecosystem. This review gives an overview of the existing knowledge on the diversity and occurrence of parasitic protists in the marine plankton and examines the available information on the potential effects and role of parasitism in this ecosystem. Importance is given to the fact that prevalence and impact of parasitic organisms in marine planktonic systems appear to be overwhelmingly understudied.

Opis:
The cell body of centrohelid heliozoans is covered with a layer of scales. These scales have species-specific morphology and, since they present in the trophic stage of the cell cycle can be termed “trophic” scales. Several species are known to form cysts; during this process they can produce specific “cyst” scales, different from trophic scales. The present paper describes morphology of cyst scales in two species of centrohelid heliozoans: Raineriophrys erinaceoides and Raphidiophrys heterophryoidea. The latter species has two types of cyst scales: scales of the first type resemble trophic scales in general structure but, their borders are broad, flattened and not enrolled. Scales of the second type are polygonal and connected to each other by special teeth, forming a single layer organized in a jig-saw puzzle-like manner. In Raineriophrys erinaceoides only one type of cyst scale was found. These scales are polygonal and completely different from trophic scales. It is unclear whether these scales form a puzzle-like layer or just overlap each other. Newly excysted individuals keep remnants of cyst scales in their cell coverings and at this stage cyst scales can easily be noted. The morphology of the cyst scales reported here is unlike any other previously reported.

Opis:
The ‘big new biology’ is a vision of a discipline transformed by a commitment to sharing data and with investigative practices that call on very large open pools of freely accessible data. As this datacentric world matures, biologists will be better able to manage the deluge of data arising from digitization programs, governmental mandates for data sharing, and increasing instrumentation of science. The big new biology will create new opportunities for research and will enable scientists to answer questions that require access to data on a scale not previously possible. Informatics will become the new genomics, and those not participating will become marginalized. If a traditional discipline like protistology is to benefit from this big data world, it must define, build, and populate an appropriate infrastructure. The infrastructure is likely to be modular, with modules focusing on needs within defined subject and makes it available in standard formats by an array of pathways. It is the responsibility of protistologists to build such nodes for their own discipline.

Problematic Biases in the Availability of Molecular Markers in Protists: The Example of the Dinoflagellates

Opis:
Dinoflagellates (Alveolata, Dinophyceae) are protists with a truly remarkable diversity in lifestyles (free-living, parasites and mutualistic symbionts), habitats (marine, freshwater, plankton, benthos), and trophic modes (heterotrophic, plastid-containing). Here dinoflagellates are used to evaluate biases in the availability of molecular markers in relation to the variety of functional and ecological characteristics of protists. A large number of dinoflagellate sequences are available in GenBank, at least one for 56% of the 264 described genera. The most common marker is the small ribosomal subunit ribosomal DNA (49%). At the species level, SSU rDNA or the large subunit rDNA are available for 15% of the 2,386 described species. Availability of sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and cytochrome oxidase I (COI) show a strong bias towards cultivable species. Relative to trophic mode, while about half of the known dinoflagellates are heterotrophic, only 12% of them have been sequenced compared to 29% of the plastid-containing species. For the COI marker availability is 10 times greater for plastid-containing compared to heterotrophic species. Freshwater species are underrepresented (13%) relative to the marine forms (22%). A high proportion of benthic species have been sequenced (46%) reflecting interest in Symbiodinium and harmful epiphytic taxa. Most of the relatively few described mutualistic species have been sequenced (> 80%). In contrast, only 17% of the described parasitic species have been sequenced, and most of the available sequences were not identified at the species level. In recent years, new species have been described mostly from coastal blooms or cultures. These studies are favored by the availability of abundant material for detailed studies of ultrastructure and multi-gene molecular phylogenies. Many methods are difficult to apply for the scarce specimens available from the open ocean. The requirement of these protocols, easy to apply with cultured species, is an obstacle in our knowledge of the open ocean diversity because it discourages studies based on sparse material. Consequently, in recent years descriptions of new species from the open ocean have declined considerably.

Opis:
Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are bivalve mollusks that have invaded and altered the ecology of many North American lakes and rivers. To identify possible ecological effects of zebra mussels on naked amoebae, this study compared abundances of sediment and water column naked amoebae in shallow water zones of four lakes with and four lakes without zebra mussels. Additional data was collected on the density of macroflagellates. Although no statistically significant difference in naked amoebae density was found, higher ratios of sediment to water column naked amoebae abundances in zebra mussel lakes were observed due to increased naked amoebae abundances in the sediments. However, we did not observe a concomitant decrease in water column naked amoebae abundances. Flagellate abundances revealed no significant differences between the two lake types. Taken together, the data show that naked amoebae and flagellates thrive in shallow water zones of zebra mussel lakes and that the filter feeding activities of zebra mussels and reported reduced water column protists abundances may be offset by the flocculation of protists from the rich zebra mussel colonies.

Opis:
Naked amoeba densities, sizes, biodiversity and carbon content were examined in relation to two particle size fractions (< 200 μm and > 200 μm) of suspended matter in the water column of the Hudson Estuary at a near-shore location south of the Tappan Zee, Palisades, New York. The densities varied markedly among the two particle fractions, and therefore the mean densities were not significantly different between the larger and smaller particle fractions. In contrast, the mean sizes and mean carbon content were statistically greater on larger size suspended particles compared to smaller size particles. There was a broader size range of amoebae on the larger particles, including very large Cochliopodium, Vannella, Mayorella, and Hartmannella species suggesting a larger biodiversity, also indicated by a larger diversity coefficient for the > 200-μm-particle fraction compared to the < 200-μm-particle fraction, 4.51 and 4.18, respectively. In conclusion, the size of suspended particulates in the water column of near-shore, estuarine habitats may have a significant influence on the composition of naked amoebae communities and their ecological roles, especially the organization of particle-associated microbial food webs.
