Ciliate diversity and distribution patterns in the sediments of a seamount and adjacent abyssal plains in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean

Abstract Background Benthic ciliates and the environmental factors shaping their distribution are far from being completely understood.Likewise, deep-sea systems are amongst the least understood ecosystems on Earth.In this study, using high-throughput DNA sequencing, we investigated the diversity and community composition of benthic ciliates in dif

Comparative evolutionary histories of fungal proteases reveal gene gains in the mycoparasitic and nematode-parasitic fungus Clonostachys rosea

Abstract Background The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea (order Hypocreales) can control several important plant diseases caused by plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes.Subtilisin-like serine proteases are considered to play an important role in pathogenesis in entomopathogenic, mycoparasitic, and nematophagous fungi used for biological control
