These viruses infect amoebas – unicellular organisms – and other microorganisms. In a new study, researchers at the University of Jyväskylä identified a new virus they discovered when ...

They are known to infect amoebas and other unicellular organisms rather than animals or humans. The Jyvaskylavirus particle is approximately 200 nanometers in diameter. For comparison, that’s ...

He further suggests that this discovery raises questions about whether other unicellular organisms might possess a similar latent ability to develop multicellularity in response to environmental cues.

The research centers on a unicellular organism called Chromosphaera Perkinsii, discovered in marine sediments near Hawaii in 2017. This organism, which has existed for over a billion years ...

Amid this, there are various unicellular organisms which exist. These organisms have a single cell, which contaians the DNA, cytoplasm and organelles required for survival. All major life ...

Protists, typically unicellular microscopic organisms that aren’t animals, fungi or plants, perform all functions within a cell. But animals are the ultimate delegators: some cells are assigned ...

Chromosphaera perkinsii, a unicellular organism found in Hawaii, first appeared at least one billion years ago and underwent cell division to produce what resembled a precursor to eggs.

This study is published in the journal Nature. The first life forms to appear on Earth were unicellular, i.e. composed of a single cell, such as yeast or bacteria. Later, animals - multicellular ...

perkinsii), an ancestral species of protist. This unicellular organism separated from the animal evolutionary line more than a billion years ago, offering valuable insight into the mechanisms that ...

The first life forms to appear on Earth were unicellular, i.e. composed of a single cell, such as yeast or bacteria. Later, animals - multicellular organisms - evolved, developing from a single ...

Other organisms like viruses and fungi are also members of the human gut microbiome that have been getting more research attention. Now, scientists have identified a unicellular organism called ...
