September 16, 2015: We are happy to welcome to Kina (Joaquina María García-Martín) to our lab for the next 3 months. Kina is a PhD student from Real Jardín Botánico-CSIC Madrid, Spain and is under the supervision of Prof. Carlos Lado. Kina is working on a Myxomycetes project with us. WELCOME!!!
May 8, 2014: My lab's first completely independent manuscript was accepted for publication in the international Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology! The manuscript was authored by two undergraduate researchers, Pamela Watson and Stephanie Sorrell. In the manuscript we describe the new genus, Ptolemeba, with 2 new species in it P. bulliensis and P. noxubium. The genus is named after Mississippi State University's first bulldog mascot, Ptolemy, with the specific epithet of bulliensis after Bully, the mascot of Mississippi State. We chose this name because the type isolate came from soil collected in between Harned Hall's lecture hall and its annex on our campus. Videos of the new amoebae are available here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ5V3tch6CY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px2y976unlo ).
