Stability in flexibility: Shifting alliances stabilize the symbioses of marine animals over 150 million years
Abstract INTRODUCTION RESULTS AND DISCUSSION MATERIALS AND METHODS Acknowledgments Supplementary Materials REFERENCES Information & Authors Metrics & Citations View Options References Figures Tables Media Share This article has 0 eLetter . Abstract Many animals benefit from microbial symbionts that aid digestion, supply essential nutrients, or provide defense.
Symbiosis reshapes the metabolism of sulfate-reducing bacteria in gutless marine worms
Abstract Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are widespread in marine and terrestrial environments, where they often form syntrophic associations with bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Among the most intimate of these are multipartite symbioses in gutless marine oligochaete worms, which host SRB and sulfur-oxidizing endosymbionts that engage in a syntrophic exchange of sulfur compounds.
Placozoan microbiomes reveal evolutionary trajectories towards mutualism among the largely parasitic Rickettsiales
Abstract Rickettsiales are an enigmatic clade of strictly host-associated bacteria with some very common phylotypes in aquatic habitats. Despite amplicon- and metagenomic sequencing-based observations, the roles of these aquatic Rickettsiales are still unknown, as their genomes feature both beneficial and parasitic traits. In placozoans, microscopy-based observations of intracellular and Rickettsia-like-organisms point to Rickettsiales as common and abundant symbionts.
Evolutionary history of the widespread association between placozoans and diverse Rickettsiales symbionts
Abstract Rickettsiales are an enigmatic clade of strictly host-associated bacteria, of which some are very common in aquatic habitats. Despite a wealth of sequencing-based observations, the hosts for many of these marine Rickettsiales are still unknown. The first molecular data from two closely related placozoan species points to Rickettsiales as abundant symbionts in these simple and early-branching animals.
Genomic and proteomic characterization of sulfate-reducing symbionts of gutless marine annelids
Abstract Sulfate-reducing bacteria inhabit marine and terrestrial environments, forming syntrophic associations with other bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. A notable example is the symbiosis between sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and gutless oligochaete worms found in marine sediments worldwide.
