    Symposium on “Symbiosis in Protozoa”: Introductory Remarks, (1985)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: .Attention, perhaps overdue, is drawn to the extent and significance of endosymbionts (xenosomes sensu lato) in the cytoplasm and nuclei of many protozoa from diverse taxonomic groups. Even more importantly, recent advances in the study of such intimate associations are reviewed and discussed and their impact on broader problems of cell biology and evolution are stressed. Workers inside and especially outside the fields of protozoology and parasitology have often neglected such data, failing to appreciate their relevance to significant problems in their own fields of investigation. The major topics covered by speakers in the Symposium (to which this paper serves only as an introduction) include the following, in order of their presentation: terminology for the symbiont-host relationship and a brief overview of the field; the evolutionary problem of the origin of contemporary associations, including cell organelles such as mitochondria and plastids; the adaptive value of endosymbionts to their protozoan hosts; mechanisms of establishment, maintenance, and integration of such foreign bodies/invaders in their unicellular eukaryotic host cells; and the extent of algal and bacterial endosymbioses in diverse protozoan groups. In all papers, the principal relatively well studied complexes used as examples are the following: various kinds of algae in the larger foraminifera and in ciliates, radiolarians, and acantharians; the several types of bacteria in the cytoplasm of Amoeba and of Pelomyxa; the endonuclear bacterial symbionts of Paramecium; the cytoplasmic prokaryotes in Paramecium and in Parauronema; and the methanogenic bacteria of certain ciliates.

    Notes: .It is generally accepted that in symbiotic systems involving algal species as cellular endobionts there is some positive benefit to the host organisms. In this paper special consideration is given to the larger foraminifera, protozoa that serve as very useful model systems for the study of aspects of inter/intracellular integration and adaptation—living, as they do, in nutrient-limited but well illuminated shallow tropical seas and containing endosymbiotic algae in abundance. A considerable amount of information is now available on physiological as well as morphological adaptations of the host species to pigmented protists representing diverse algal divisions (phyla). Brief mention is also made of bacterial endosymbionts of certain ciliates.

    The Extent of Algal and Bacterial Endosymbioses in Protozoa, (1985)

    Notes: Long neglected has been the extensive and more or less intimate association of protozoa with a wide variety of other cells, either prokaryotic or eukaryotic in nature. Yet study of such relationships can provide important information concerning certain basic aspects of cellular evolution in general. A survey is offered here of the whole range of such symbiotic associations (i.e. with species of protozoa serving as hosts) with the purposes of drawing attention to the exciting possibilities of such research and of reviewing significant findings made to date. Because of the vastness of the overall field, examples and discussion are primarily limited to consideration of the following major studies: methanogenic bacteria in certain ciliates, bacterial endosymbionts of the large freshwater amoeba Pelomyxa palustris (itself an amazing organism from an evolutionary/phylogenetic point of view), the rod-shaped bacteria found in Amoeba proteus, the “Greek-letter” prokaryotes of Paramecium species, the xenosomes (sensu stricto) of the marine scuticociliate Parauronema acutum, and the diverse algal endosymbionts of similarly diverse protozoan taxa–ciliates, flagellates, radiolarians, acantharians, and foraminifera.

    Symbiosis in the Larger Foraminiferan Sorites marginalis (with Notes on Archaias spp.) (1976)

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. It was demonstrated with the aid of light and electron microscope studies that Sorites marginalis (Lamarck) harbors zooxanthellae. The hosts were scraped from Thalassia testudinum Konig growing in Key Largo Sound (Florida, U.S.A.) and immediately preserved in appropriate fixatives. Zooxanthellae were distributed unevenly throughout all the chamberlets; only a few symbiotes were found in the embryonic chambers and the inner or outer chambers, but the intermediate chambers were packed with symbiotes. The outer chambers contained many food vacuoles in addition to symbiotes. Some zooxanthellae might have been in the process of degeneration or digestion. The symbiotes were found to have a typical dinoflagellate nucleus, a single large lobate cortical chloroplast with one stalked pyrenoid, an accumulation body, and many starch granules. The nonmotile stage of the zooxanthella was similar, but perhaps not identical, to Symbiodinium microadriaticum Freudenthal from various hosts.The foraminiferan host is heterokaryotic with hundreds of generative (small) nuclei and scores of vegetative (large) nuclei. Most of the generative nuclei were found in the embryonic apparatus and the inner chambers. Most of the vegetative nuclei were found in the inner and outer chambers.

    Allogromia laticollaris: A Foraminiferan with an Unusual Apogamic Metagenic Life Cycle (1976)

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. The life cycles of 3 strains of Allogromia laticollaris, a monothalamous foraminiferan, have been studied. Each of the strains had a different, nonclassical, and basically apogamic, life cycle. The Cold Spring Harbor (CSH) strain regularly alternated between 2 agamontic forms: agamont I (uninucleate and diploid) and agamont II (multinucleate and diploid). The complete life cycle took 26 days. Sexual reproduction was rare (0.01%) and autogamous. Small numbers of organisms also underwent budding, binary fission, and cytotomy. The life cycles of the Towd Point (TPA) and Sippewissett (SIP) strains were comparatively abbreviated. Agamont II dominated their typical life cycles, which were completed in 16-18 days. The life cycle of SIP was basically a continuous cycling of the agamont II phase. Approximately 75% of the schizozoites of the TPA strain developed into agamont II. The other 25% alternated between agamont II and agamont I phase.In the CSH strain schizozoites with ∼ 8 (range 5-15) nuclei characterized newly formed agamonts II. More nuclei (∼ 25) were found in the other 2 strains. The nuclei in young agamonts II underwent rapid morphologic changes leading to a “mushroom-like” chromosome appearance and extensive RNA synthesis. Nucleolar material accumulated at the nuclear periphery and eventually was discharged to the cytoplasm. Karyokinesis took place without the breakdown of the nuclear membrane.The single nucleus of young agamont I forms was proportionally quite large. The S1 phase occurred quite early (2-5 days) in this part of the life cycle. RNA in the CSH strain formed a compact, subcortical, coarsely granular ring, while in the TPA it was cortical and differentiated into finely granular matrix with randomly distributed coarse granules. During the G2 phase the nucleus became further enlarged and eventually amoeba-form. Intermediate stages in nuclear breakdown were not found.

    Protozoa as Hosts for Endosymbioses and the Conversion of Symbionts into Organelles, (1985)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: .Protozoa may be thought of as preadapted to serve as hosts for cellular endosymbionts by virtue of their widespread ability to take up particles by endocytosis. The absence of the cell wall so characteristic of plants and fungi and the commonly large size of most protozoa are additional factors favoring protozoan cells for endosymbioses. The conversion of symbiont into a cellular organelle (e.g. a mitochondrion or chloroplast) is more complicated, especially since the latter do not code for all of their own proteins. Thus, such conversions are held to be rare. Among protozoa, numerous foraminifera appear to have characteristics making them very favorable as hosts for certain algae. Such adaptations, both physiological and morphological in nature, are discussed. Also discussed in this paper are the ways by which (present-day) chloroplasts and mitochondria may have been derived from early endosymbionts: a single ancestral cyanobacterium, in the first case, and a single ancestral purple-nonsulfur bacterium, in the second. Mechanisms for insertion of proteins into and across the organellar membranes had to be evolved for all genes transferred from the symbionts into the host nucleus.

    Isolation and characterization of the “zooxanthellae” from soritid foraminifera and the giant clam Tridacna maxima (2005)

    Notes: Various methodological approaches are being used to characterize Symbiodinium spp isolated from Marginopora vertebralis and Amphisorus hemprichii and Amphisorus sp. from the Indo-pacific. While most of the cells in culture are non-motile vegetative cells, dinospores occur in batch cultures. We find consistant variance among the isolates in the duration and time of appearance of motile forms. Nitrate (0.146 mM) supports higher populations of the isolates than NH4 (0.146 mM). Higher concentrations of NH4 inhibit growth. Although Fensome et al. (1993) characterized the Order Suessiales (and Family Symbiodiniaceae) as gymnnodiniphycideans in which the amphiesmal vesicals are arranged in 7–10 longitudinal series we were unable to detect any plates on the surfaces of our isolates in the SEM. We were unsuccessful in revealing plates on non-motile forms by freeze fracture but they were present after treatment with various chemical agents (e.g. H2O2, HOCl−) and enzymes (cellulase, chitinase). They are not polygonal or arranged in the patterns anticipated for the Symbiodiniaceae. Polyclonal antibody studies of the Symbiodinium-like isolates are in agreement with molecular systematic studies in the sense that there is a common relation. The foram endosymbiotic dinoflagellates share some common surface antigens with each other and with the few invertebrate isolates we have tested. Studies of the foraminiferal symbionts' plastids revealed considerable morphological diversity. We isolated a diversity of endosymbionts from the mantle of Tridacna maxima from the Red Sea and the Marshall Islands. These included Symbiodinium, Amphidinium, Tetraselmis, and an unidentified chlorophyte.

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. Euplotes vannus, a hypotrich ciliate. grows well over broad ranges of temperature and salinity. It requires higher densities of food (〉 1 × 104 cells/ml) for rapid reproduction than do the other herbivores, the foraminiferan Al-logromia laticollaris (〉 1 × 102 cells/ml), and the nematode Chromadorina germanica (∼ 1 × 103 cells/ml), to which it was compared. If food levels were initially very high (∼ 1 × 108 cells/ml) the ciliates reproduced rapidly and consumed the algae faster than it could reproduce. Some balance between the algae and the ciliates was achieved at initial algal concentrations of ∼ 1 × 105 cells/ml. In microcosm experiments at 25 C with equal numbers of C. germanica and A. laticollaris. E. vannus proved to be a very poor competitor; reaching only 20% of control levels when grow with C. germanica and only 13% when cultured with A. laticollaris. It was a better competitor in 2-species microcosms, at lower temperatures, and when its ratio to the other species was initially higher.The experimental evidence suggests that E. vannus is best adapted to being a migrating initial colonizer of fresh algal blooms.
