In the world of microbes, organisms like viruses and bacteria get a lot of attention. But now, researchers are beginning to study other unicellular life forms, like archaea, and protists. Protists ...

Talk about the extended family! A single-celled organism in Norway has been called "mankind's furthest relative." It is so far removed from the organisms we know that researchers claim it belongs to a ...

Almost all eukaryotic organisms, from plants and animals to fungi, can't survive without mitochondria -- the 'powerhouses of the cell,' which generate chemical energy using oxygen. However, a new ...

Teeny, single-cell creatures floating in the ocean may be the first organisms ever confirmed to eat viruses. Scientists scooped up the organisms, known as protists, from the surface waters of the Gulf ...

There are three domains of life: bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than bacteria, but there are single-celled eukaryotes, and those that don't fit into any other ...

Groove-like tracks on the ocean floor made by giant deep-sea single-celled organisms could lead to new insights into the evolutionary origin of animals, according to biologists. Groove-like tracks on ...

Pac-Man, the open-mouthed face of the most successful arcade game ever, is much more well-known than any of the one-celled organisms called protists, at least among people over 30. But the first study ...

Aim: General patterns of biodiversity, such as latitudinal gradients and species-area relationships, are found consistently in a wide range of organisms, but recent results for protist diversity ...
