Molecular screening of free-living microbial eukaryotes: diversity and distribution using a meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Numerous environmental gene library studies have shown that eukaryote microbial diversity is much greater than expected. Molecular surveys of several 'extreme' and some more anthropomorphically commonplace environments have revealed many previously unsampled micro-eukaryotic lineages. However, it cannot be assumed that all of the sequences recovered from these studies are derived from real organisms, and for...
