Morphological and phylogenetic investigations shed light on evolutionary relationships of the enigmatic genus Copemetopus (Ciliophora, Alveolata), with the proposal of Copemetopus verae sp. nov.

Pedro H. Campello-Nunes et al.

Summary: Copemetopus, a rare and poorly known sapropelic ciliate genus, is composed of only two valid nominal species. Its phylogenetic position is closely related to Protocruzia, suggesting it is a distinct clade within ciliates.

Bacterial symbiosis in ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora): Roads traveled and those still to be taken

Sergei Fokin et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the diversity and characteristics of prokaryotic symbionts in Ciliophora and other protists, focusing on Paramecium and Euplotes genera. It also discusses the neglected study of ciliate epibionts and the use of new technologies and genomic data in symbiology research. The article provides an overview of achievements in genomic studies and outlines the prospects for future development in ciliate symbiology.

Valid publication of the names of forty- two phyla of prokaryotes

Aharon Oren et al.

Summary: After the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) voted to include the rank of phylum in the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) and published the decision in the IJSEM, names and formal descriptions of 42 phyla were presented for valid publication, based on genera as the nomenclatural types.

Anaerobic endosymbiont generates energy for ciliate host by denitrification

Jon S. Graf et al.

Summary: Mitochondria are specialized organelles in eukaryotic cells that evolved from a free-living bacterial ancestor through endosymbiosis about 2 billion years ago. They have adapted to different habitats and some eukaryotes with reduced mitochondria obtain energy through fermentation.

The importance of type species and their correct identification: A key example from tintinnid ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora, Spirotricha)

Sabine Agatha et al.

Summary: Types and corresponding rules in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature are crucial for taxonomy and provide nomenclatural stability. Neotypification requires diligent taxonomic work to maintain continuity. The uncertain affiliation of the type species of the marine planktonic tintinnid genus Tintinnopsis hinders its revision and the erection of new related genera.
