Tomscimyt ☥Protistologists of Mastodon, do you know of any research with Acanthamoeba and copper sulfate/potassium chlorate/chloramine T?
ISEPNew #ISEPpapers! Phylogenomic, structural, and cell biological analyses reveal that #Stenotrophomonas maltophilia replicates in acidified Rab7A-positive vacuoles of #Acanthamoeba castellanii https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/spectrum.02988-23 #Microbes #Protists

At least 35 bacterial species are known for non‑predatory interactions with #Acanthamoeba #protists. These #bacteria do not simply serve the #amoebae as food but have been found either as intracellular commensals, or as mutualists, or as #pathogens. Medical #microbiologists will spot some of the usual suspects in the list.
