message: K. Otto, "Plasmid transfer between marine Vibrio strains duping predation by the heterotrophic microflagellate Cafeteria roenbergensis", in: APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY 63 (2): 749-752 FEB 1997
Abstract: The effect of grazing by the heterotrophic microflagellate Cafeteria roenbergensis on plasmid transfer between marine Vibrio S14 strains was studied by using artificial seawater. Several factors of potential importance for regulation of the plasmid transfer, such as nutrient release, production of a flagellate-derived substance(s) that may affect plasmid transfer, and the presence of surfaces, were investigated. Only living flagellates gave rise to, at instances, plasmid transfer enhanced more than 2 orders of magnitude. We propose that the activity of grazing flagellates allows for the significant increase in plasmid transfer observed under predation conditions. This may be due to a localized increase in bacterial numbers through filter feeding, thus providing high cell densities with increased possibility for cell-to-cell-contact and hence plasmid transfer.

Abstract: The flagellar apparatus of Cafeteria roenbergensis consists of two basal bodies, three microtubular roots, of which one bears secondary cytoskeletal microtubules, and a forked rhizoplast that connects the elder, posteriorly directed basal body to the nucleus. Analysis of the three-dimensional architecture of this flagellar apparatus confirms that Cafeteria belongs to the bicosoecids and suggests that there is little variation in flagellar apparatus features among bicosoecids. Feeding apparatus architecture (the "Type I feeding basket") in bicosoecids differs from that in chromulinalean chrysophytes in several features. Nevertheless, the structures in bicosoecids and chromulinalean chrysophytes are more similar to each other than to any other stramenopiles and may share a similar mechanism based on microtubule-microtubule sliding. The feeding basket may be an ancestral motif among stramenopiles, conserved in different forms in bicosoecids and chromulinalean chrysophytes but lost from other lineages.
Leipe et al.: "The stramenopiles from a molecular perspective: 16S-like rRNA sequences from Labyrinthuloides minuta and Cafeteria roenbergensis", in: PHYCOLOGIA 33 (5): 369-377 SEP 1994
Abstract: Comparisons of 16S-like ribosomal RNA sequences from the heterotrophic marine flagellate Cafeteria roenbergensis Fenchel et Patterson, the slime net Labyrinthuloides minuta Watson et Raper and other eukaryotes provide insights into the early branching patterns for protists with tripartite flagellar hairs, the heterokont stramenopiles. Within this monophyletic assemblage, heterotrophic bicosoecids and labyrinthulids diverge before the separation of oomycetes and autotrophic stramenopiles. We infer that stramenopiles evolved from a colourless flagellate. Other taxa with chloroplasts containing chlorophyll a + c (dinoflagellates, cryptomonads and haptophytes) represent independent evolutionary lineages that acquired their chloroplasts separately from the endosymbiotic event leading to the autotrophic stramenopiles.

message: Mich würde ja mal zu gern interessieren, wer auf diesen putzigen Namen gekommen ist. Ist das vielleicht in einer Institutskantine ausgeheckt worden? Astronomen kennen ja schon seit langem das Sternbild Mensa. (Okay, bedeutet eigentlich "Tafelberg", hat aber dieselbe lat. Wurzel "mensa" = "Tafel" und ist trotzdem putzig.) 
: Die Erstbeschreibung schweigt sich zu dem Thema aus, im Microbe-Wiki steht über die Art Cafeteria roenbergensis: whose name comes from their voracious and undiscriminate appetites,. Da diese Erklärung in keiner anderen Website oder Veröffentlichung vorkommt, wurde sie hier weggelassen. Griensteidl 14:21, 9. Nov. 2007 (CET)
replies: text: We found a new species of ciliate during a marine field course in Rønberg and named it Cafeteria roenbergensis because of its voracious and indiscriminate appetite after many dinner discussions in the local cafeteria.

replies: text:  +1 Wenn man aber doch was über die Namensgebung weiß, sollte es in den Artikel. Es drängt sich auf... Ist die oben angeführte Erklärung aus Annualreviews.org denn nicht vertrauenswürdig? --Alazon (Diskussion) 13:28, 1. Okt. 2017 (CEST)
replies: text: Es wäre keine schlechte Idee. Heute ist der Artikel 'Cafeteria roenbergensis' "Artikel des Tages", und ich bin natürlich prompt wegen des Namens darauf angesprungen und hab nachgelesen, ob sich der Name erklärt. Ich finde ihn amüsant, zumal er wohl auch noch eine lustige und nicht nur eine logische Erklärung hat. Also warum die Anekdote nicht zur Auflockerung einbauen? --Cmdr.bond (Diskussion) 23:07, 1.
