Paper alert 🚨
#Metamonada #Parabasalia

Seven new species described, three new genera, two new families and a new order (Pimpavickida). The latter appears to be a new deep-branching lineage with no affinity to any currently known group of Parabasalia.

Paper alert 🚨
Comparative genomics in #Preaxostyla confirms the complete loss of #mitochondria and full mitochondria proteome in the #oxymonad species #Monocercomonoides exilis, #Blattamonas nauphoetae, and #Streblomastix strix. This research extends the amitochondriate status to the Oxymonadida.

First post:
Nice paper from the V. Hampl lab (Department of Parasitology, Charles University):

LOPIT clustering of MRO proteins suggest the MRO of the #Metamonada Paratrimastix pyriformis is not involved in extended glycolysis and Fe-S cluster assembly
