This paper develops a genetic toolkit for stable transgenesis in Blastocystis ST7-B, enabling antibiotic selection and recovery of transgenic lines with reporter expression.

The paper develops a stable transformation method for Saprolegnia parasitica using a mutated CYP51 gene from Achlya hypogyna to confer imidazole resistance.

This study identifies a mitochondrial carrier in Blastocystis that transports glycolytic intermediates, linking cytosolic and mitochondrial glycolysis and highlighting it as a potential drug target.
