The Life Cycle of Aurelia aurita Depends on the Presence of a Microbiome in Polyps Prior to Onset of Strobilation [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Aurelia aurita’s intricate life cycle alternates between benthic polyp and pelagic medusa stages. The strobilation process, a critical asexual reproduction mechanism in this jellyfish, is severely compromised in the absence of the natural polyp ...

Marine bacteriophages disturb the associated microbiota of Aurelia aurita with a recoverable effect on host morphology [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe concept of the metaorganism describes a multicellular host and its diverse microbial community, which form one biological unit with a combined genetic repertoire that significantly influences health and survival of the host.

Embryonic development of the moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa): another variant on the theme of invagination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Aurelia aurita (Scyphozoa, Cnidaria) is an emblematic species of the jellyfish. Currently, it is an emerging model of Evo-Devo for studying evolution and molecular regulation of metazoans’ complex life cycle, early development, and cell ...

Four Novel Caudoviricetes Bacteriophages Isolated from Baltic Sea Water Infect Colonizers of Aurelia aurita [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita is associated with a highly diverse microbiota changing with provenance, tissue, and life stage. While the crucial relevance of bacteria to host fitness is well known, bacteriophages have often been neglected.

Characterization of Small Extracellular Vesicles Isolated from Aurelia aurita [PDF]
BiologyA moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) is a representative of the phylum Cnidaria, commonly found in the northern seas of the globe. The regenerative abilities of cnidarians have recently been associated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by these ...
