An unusual choanoflagellate protein released by Hedgehog autocatalytic processing. by Snell, E, Brooke, N, Taylor, W, Casane, D, Philippe, H, Holland, P

First putative occurrence in the fossil record of choanoflagellates, the sister group of Metazoa by Carolina Fonseca, João Graciano Mendonça Filho, Matías Reolid, Luís V. Duarte, António Donizeti de Oliveira, Jaqueline Torres Souza, Carine Lézin

“…Knowledge on the evolution of choanoflagellates is key for the understanding of the ancestry of animals, and although molecular clock evidence suggests the appearance of choanoflagellates by late Neoproterozoic, no specimens of choanoflagellates are known to occur in the fossil record. …”

Algoriphagus machipongonensis sp. nov., co-isolated with a colonial choanoflagellate by Alegado, Rosanna A., Grabenstatter, Jonathan Dean, Zuzow, Richard, Morris, Andrea, Huang, Sherri Y., King, Nicole, Summons, Roger E

“…A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, PR1[superscript T], was isolated from a mud core sample containing colonial choanoflagellates near Hog Island, Virginia, USA. Strain PR1[superscript T] grew optimally at 30 °C and with 3 % (w/v) NaCl. …”

A family of diatom-like silicon transporters in the siliceous loricate choanoflagellates. by Marron, A, Alston, M, Heavens, D, Akam, M, Caccamo, M, Holland, P, Walker, G

“…The absence of putative SIT genes in any other eukaryotic groups, including non-siliceous choanoflagellates, leads us to propose that SIT genes underwent a lateral gene transfer event between stramenopiles and loricate choanoflagellates. …”

Predicted glycosyltransferases promote development and prevent spurious cell clumping in the choanoflagellate S. rosetta by Laura A Wetzel, Tera C Levin, Ryan E Hulett, Daniel Chan, Grant A King, Reef Aldayafleh, David S Booth, Monika Abedin Sigg, Nicole King

“…In a previous study we established forward genetics in the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta and found that a C-type lectin gene is required for rosette development (Levin et al., 2014). …”
