there is a new article by our now retired Head of Laboratory Dr. Norbert Klaas as co-author about: "Intracellular #bioaccumulation of the rare earth element #Gadolinium in #ciliate cells resulting in biogenic particle formation and excretion". Ser here: https://shorturl.at/apHKT

A fabulous story by @edyong209 about our research finding the #ciliate responsible for the 2022 Diadema antillarum die-off. #urchin #mortality, #ocean #microbiology #microscopy #protist #coral #reef #disease #USFCMS https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2023/04/sea-urchin-die-off-source-ciliate/673817/

We spent most of 2022 hunting down a sea urchin killer - and the results are published in Science Advances today - check out this story (with lots of great photos) by #USFCMS - https://www.usf.edu/marine-science/news/2023/scientists-identify-2022-sea-urchin-killer.aspx summarizing the work. #urchin #Diadema #disease #ocean #marine #oceanography #ciliate #protist #ecology #research #science #invertebrate #microscopy 🧵

Oooo, have I found something new (for me)? Looks like a ciliate called a Tintinnid. Not the whole thing, just the lorica, in which the cell lives. I’m thinking Favella sp. What do you think?

@booktrust My wife's book 'Blakes Small Adventure' is all about a tiny creature living on a salt marsh dreaming of friends to play with. He gets swept up by the tide on a hair-raising adventure! Will he ever return to his little pond? Will he find friends? Buy the book and find out! www.paramecium-press.co.uk #ciliate #adventure #kidsbooks #storytime #stories #microbes #microbiology #biology #childrensbooks #protists #protistology

I got me a little Suctoria action in my plankton sample today! I think this is of the genus Acineta. Please do share your insight.

📢Ciliates can feed on viruses, using viruses as direct nutrient source (rather than "viral shunt") @PNASNews by @DeLongLab1 congrats 👏

The potato chip and the bean. A couple of marine ciliates from my saltmarsh creek sample yesterday. There’s not much free info out there in marine ciliates, so if anyone can shed some light on them, let me know!
