Since the Amoebozoa diverged early from the eukaryotic family tree, these results suggest that meiosis was present early in eukaryotic evolution. Furthermore, these findings are consistent …

In this paper, we provide an updated review of the current understanding of amoeba-bacterium interactions. We start by discussing the diversity of amoebae and their bacterial partners. …

Amoebozoa occupies an evolutionarily important position as the sister lineage to Obazoa (Brown et al. 2013). A deeper understanding of the group will help resolve the evolutionary histories …

Cavalier-Smith T, Chao EE, Lewis R. 187-gene phylogeny of protozoan phylum amoebozoa reveals a new class (Cutosea) of deep-branching, ultrastructurally unique, enveloped marine …

Feb 28, 2019 · Brazilian researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary history of amoebae and demonstrated that at the end of the Precambrian period, at least 750 million years ago, life on …

Jan 24, 2019 · Single-celled amoebae were an early form of life on Earth that evolved in the sea. Now scientists have uncovered the earliest ever terrestrial species of an important type known …

May 15, 2017 · 187-Gene phylogeny of protozoan phylum Amoebozoa reveals a new class (Cutosea) of deep-branching, ultrastructurally unique, enveloped marine Lobosa and clarifies …

Amoebae have evolved different mechanisms to find, kill, and digest bacteria, while bacteria also developed strategies to resist amoeba predation and, in return, sometimes to infect and kill …

In 1966, microbiologist Kwang Jeon was studying single-celled organisms called amoebae, when his amoebae communities were struck by an unexpected plague: a bacterial infection. Literally …

Jul 1, 2022 · We recovered a well-resolved and supported tree of Amoebozoa, revealing novel deep level relationships and resolving placement of enigmatic lineages congruent with …
