25 Years Since the First Microsporidian Genome Assembly, Insights on How Genomics Has Shaped Our Understanding of Parasites with the Smallest Eukaryotic Genomes
Microsporidia are fungal intracellular parasites of animals and are a threat to human health and food security. In 2001, they became the first eukaryotic parasites to have their genome fully sequenced. Analysis revealed they possessed th...

Intraperiplasmic Predatory Bacteria: Diversity, Mechanisms, and Application as Alternatives to Antibiotics
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus represents one of nature's most remarkable examples of obligate bacterial predation. This small, highly motile bacterium exhibits a biphasic life cycle alternating between a free-swimming attack phase and an in...
