J Eukaryot Microbiol 50:483-7. 2003..Our results are congruent with observations of similar cytoplasmic organisation in Rhizammina and Syringammina.

Protist 156:399-412. 2005..It is suggested that the strong host-symbiont specificity observed in Soritinae is a combined effect of a selective recognition mechanism, vertical transmission of symbionts, and biogeographical isolation... - Ultra-deep sequencing of foraminiferal microbarcodes unveils hidden richness of early monothalamous lineages in deep-sea sedimentsBeatrice Lecroq
