A bacterial symbiont protects honey bees from fungal disease [PDF]
mBio, 2020 Fungi are the leading cause of insect disease, contributing to the decline of wild and managed populations1,2. For ecologically and economically critical species, such as the European honey bee (Apis mellifera), the presence and prevalence of fungal pathogens can have far reaching consequences, endangering other species and threatening food security3,4,

Microbial symbionts : a resource for the management of insect-related problems [PDF]
, 2011 Microorganisms establish with their animal hosts close interactions. They are involved in many aspects of the host life, physiology and evolution, including nutrition, reproduction, immune homeostasis, defence and speciation.

Large-scale and significant expression from pseudogenes in Sodalis glossinidius – a facultative bacterial endosymbiont [PDF]
, 2020 The majority of bacterial genomes have high coding efficiencies, but there are some genomes of intracellular bacteria that have low gene density. The genome of the endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius contains almost 50 % pseudogenes containing mutations ...

The bacterial essence of tiny symbiont genomes [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2010 Bacterial genomes vary in size over two orders of magnitude. The Mycoplasma genitalium genome has historically defined the extreme small end of this spectrum, and has therefore heavily informed theoretical and experimental work aimed at determining the minimal gene content necessary to support cellular life.

Taming the symbiont for coexistence: a host PGRP neutralizes a bacterial symbiont toxin [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2010 Summary In horizontally transmitted mutualisms between marine animals and their bacterial partners, the host environment promotes the initial colonization by specific symbionts that it harvests from the surrounding bacterioplankton.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Cassiopea xamachana is a model system for studies in animal symbiosis with algal symbionts. This medusa is also associated with a microbial community that can impact its health, but this community has not been thoroughly studied.

Host-selected mutations converging on a global regulator drive an adaptive leap towards symbiosis in bacteria [PDF]
, 2017 Host immune and physical barriers protect against pathogens but also impede the establishment of essential symbiotic partnerships. To reveal mechanisms by which beneficial organisms adapt to circumvent host defenses, we experimentally evolved ...

Thiopeptide Defense by an Ant’s Bacterial Symbiont
Journal of Natural Products, 2019 Fungus-growing ants and their bacterial symbionts have emerged as a model animal-microbe symbiosis and an ideal system for understanding antibiotic deployment in an ecological context. We found that Pseudonocardia symbionts of the ant Trachymyrmex septentrionalis have strong antibiotic activity against their most likely competitors: other strains of ...
