Thank you!

Thank you @zlatogursky.bsky.social and @thealgaeman.bsky.social. Sorry, 40x objective is best I’ve got at hand.

Some creatures we’ve isolated from soil recently. If you recognise any of these let me know! #protistsonsky

🦠 Neither plant, animal, nor fungi: protists are beautiful, bizarre, and behaviourally complex.

For @sallywarring.bsky.social and @santa-walker.bsky.social at Earlham Institute, they're creating some fascinating scientific challenges.

We are looking for a PhD student to work on an exciting plastid endosymbiosis in microbial eukaryotes. This position involves sampling, exciting microscopy such as CARDFISH, ExM and FIBSEM, single-cell transcriptomics and more. #protistsonsky 1/2

Single-cell sequencing reveals unexpected genetic diversity among Bodo spp. flagellates and their bacterial endosymbionts Bodo is a cosmopolitan genus of free living bacterivorous single-celled flagellates in the class Kinetoplastea. Members of genus Bodo are considered the closest free-living relatives to the parasitic ...

A new preprint from us using a single-cell genome pipeline to investigate diversity of uncultured Bodo spp. flagellates.

We isolated 7 Bodo spp. cells from a single environmental sample and show that they represent 3 Bodo sp. each with a unique species of bacterial endosymbiont. #protistsonsky
