Lipids are the preferred substrate of the protist <i>Naegleria gruberi</i> , relative of a human brain pathogen

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Naegleria gruberi is a free-living non-pathogenic amoeboflagellate and relative of Naegleria fowleri , a deadly pathogen causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). A genomic analysis of N. gruberi exists, but physiological evidence for its core energy metabolism or in vivo growth substrates is lacking. Here we show that N. gruberi trophozoites need oxygen for normal functioning and gr...
