He is remembered perhaps best for classifying life into the now-well-accepted domains of bacteria eukaryotes (plants animals fungi and protists) and archaea.
Theriot uses TACC to host a web portal that supports the research in the lab called Protist Central.
Spiculosiphon oceana an amoeboid protist is between 1. 5 and 2 inches (4 to 5 cm) tall
including acantharians (pictured) protists with skeletons made of strontium sulphate crystals. The results just blow the wheels off all estimates of microbial diversity,
Silberman and Brown perform comparative DNA sequence analyses of a type of eukaryote called protists to help find their particular placement or branch on the tree of life.
By isolating formerly unexamined anaerobic protists--a diverse group of unicellular microorganisms --and looking at the independent ways they have formed different types of mitochondria the researchers hope to reveal essential commonalities among all eukaryotes perhaps even clues that explain their origin.
Malaria is caused by microscopic organisms called protists which are present in the saliva of infected female mosquitoes and transmitted when the mosquitoes bite.
a miniscule skeleton shrimp from Santa catalina Island in California a single-celled protist that does a credible imitation of a sponge a clean room microbe that could be a hazard during space travel and a teensy fringed fairyfly named Tinkerbell.
Amoeboid Protist: Body Builder from the Mediterranean Spiculosiphon oceana Location: Mediterranean sea This one-celled organism is four to five centimeters high (1. 5 to two inches) making it a giant in the world of single-celled creatures.
It ends up looking much like a carnivorous sponge as well as feeding like one extending pseudopods (a protist's version of arms) outside the shell to feed on invertebrates that have become trapped in the spiny structures.
