Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with (2017, unknown): “In turn, the role of protists in plant disease control due to, e.g., increasing bacterial biocontrol agents (Jousset, 2012) or by directly feeding on plant pathogens (Old and Chakraborty, 1986; Geisen et al., 2016) has received comparatively little attention.”
Distribution patterns of soil microbial eukaryotes suggests widespread algivory by phagotrophic protists as an alternative pathway for nutrient cycling (2017, background): “Although feeding on bacteria is unquestionably widespread in phagotrophic microbial eukaryotes, there is increasing evidence that eukaryovory (i.e. the act of feeding partially or exclusively on other eukaryotes) is also common (Dumack et al., 2016a,b; Geisen et al., 2016).”
