HOLO- AND HETRO. "Two distinct classes of coccoliths have been identified. Holococcoliths are simple single-crystalline structures, while heterococcoliths are more complex multi-component structures. Current evidence suggests that holococcoliths are formed on the external cell surface while heterococcoliths are produced in intracellular compartments (coccolith vesicle)." https://lnkd.in/eXTtntg View in LinkedIn

ACUTE COMMUNICATION. "The microbiological community is exposed to a broad range of chemical substances in which an incredible variety of chemical messenger substances is embedded, from which they must be able to take up and interpret the correct ones in order to survive. It is very difficult to imagine how bacteria can differentiate between sense and nonsense in their chemical environment, in which they are constantly bombarded from all sides by small molecules." https://lnkd.in/eDswHmC View in LinkedIn

PHASE SYMMETRY. "The diploid phase is characterized by heterococcoliths, which show radial symmetry and are formed of a limited number (typically

NEW INFO #6. "If we look at the flexible and dynamic expansion of information processes through epigenetic programming and reprogramming, alternative splicing and RNA-editing, we must confess today that investigations of the genomic contents of organisms with the molecular biology tools of the last 5 decades have yielded more questions than answers." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

HETEROMORPHS. "The dominant reproductive mode of haptophytes is asexual mitotic division. However, in many haptophytes more complex life-cycles have been documented, with two or more morphologically distinct phases." https://lnkd.in/eUUB9pU View in LinkedIn

VIRUSES AND EVOLUTION. "A significant part of the human genome turns out to consist of viral genes and it is beginning to look as though the ability of viruses to transfer genes to and from their hosts and each other — so spreading genes throughout the biological world — may have been an important factor in the evolution of species." https://lnkd.in/eD4R5hH View in LinkedIn

THE VIROSPHERE. "Vastly more virus species exist than previously thought (100 million or more, outnumbering any other type of organism) and they are to be found in pretty much every environment on the planet." https://lnkd.in/eD4R5hH View in LinkedIn

NEW INFO #5. "Viruses and their various roles in evolution and developmental processes as obligate inhabitants of cellular genomes change our view on the evolution and function of the nucleic acid language and its interconnection with the amino acid language. Some authors suggest the existence of a fourth domain of life, the virosphere." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

RNA AGENTS DRIVE EVOLUTION. "It seems plausible now that if we look at the abundance of regulatory RNAs and persistent viruses in host genomes, we will find more and more evidence that the key players that edit the genetic codes of host genomes are consortia of RNA agents and viruses that drive evolutionary novelty and regulation of cellular processes in all steps of development." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
