Microorganisms play a central role in sustaining soil ecosystems and agriculture, these functions are usually associated with their complex life history. Yet, the regulation evolution of history have remained enigmatic poorly understood, especially protozoa, third most abundant group organisms soil. Here, we explore cosmopolitan species-
Phenotypic plasticity, which involves phenotypic transformation in the absence of genetic change, may serve as a strategy for organisms to survive complex and highly fluctuating environments. However, its reaction norm, molecular basis, evolution remain unclear most organisms, especially microbial eukaryotes. In this study, we explored these questions by investigating regulation, plasticity cosmopolitan marine free-living ciliates Glauconema spp., undergo significant changes response food...
