Abstract:As an innate property of life, the ability to reproduce is a key process for the perpetuation of organisms. Along the evolution of protist reproductive strategies, the molecular machinery of sexual recombination is estimated to have been inherited from the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA). Nevertheless, unraveling the sexual cycles of extant free-living protist lineages remains challenging, given the enigmatic roles of many uncultivated life stages. Among the uncultivated planktonic group of Acantharia (… Show more
