Parathion utilization by bacterial symbionts in a chemostat [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1977 A continuous-culture device was used to select and enrich for microorganisms, from sewage and agricultural runoff, that were capable of using the organophosphorus insecticide parathion as a sole growth substrate. Parathion was dissimilated by the highly acclimated symbiotic activities of Pseudomonas stutzeri, which non-oxidatively and cometabolically ...

Asymmetrical hybridization and gene flow between Eisenia andrei and E. fetida lumbricid earthworms [PDF]
, 2018 Uniformly pigmented Eisenia andrei (Ea) and striped E. fetida (Ef) lumbricid earthworms are hermaphrodites capable of self-fertilization, cross-fertilization, and asymmetrical hybridization.

The Cost of Metabolic Interactions in Symbioses between Insects and Bacteria with Reduced Genomes
mBio, 2018 Various intracellular bacterial symbionts that provide their host with essential nutrients have much-reduced genomes, attributed largely to genomic decay and relaxed selection. To obtain quantitative estimates of the metabolic function of these bacteria,

Vertical Transmission at the Pathogen-Symbiont Interface: Serratia symbiotica and Aphids
mBio, 2021 Insects have evolved various mechanisms to reliably transmit their beneficial bacterial symbionts to the next generation. Sap-sucking insects, including aphids, transmit symbionts by endocytosis of the symbiont into cells of the early embryo within the ...

Two intracellular and cell type-specific bacterial symbionts in the placozoan Trichoplax H2
, 2019 Placozoa is an enigmatic phylum of simple, microscopic, marine metazoans(1,2). Although intracellular bacteria have been found in all members of this phylum, almost nothing is known about their identity, location and interactions with their host(3-6). We

Molecular Interactions between Bacterial Symbionts and Their Hosts [PDF]
Cell, 2006 Symbiotic bacteria are important in animal hosts, but have been largely overlooked as they have proved difficult to culture in the laboratory. Approaches such as comparative genomics and real-time PCR have provided insights into the molecular mechanisms that underpin symbiont-host interactions. Studies on the heritable symbionts of insects have yielded

Host Plants Influence the Symbiont Diversity of Eriosomatinae (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Insects, 2020 Eriosomatinae is a particular aphid group with typically heteroecious holocyclic life cycle, exhibiting strong primary host plant specialization and inducing galls on primary host plants.

Unusual Metabolism and Hypervariation in the Genome of a Gracilibacterium (BD1-5) from an Oil-Degrading Community. [PDF]
, 2019 The candidate phyla radiation (CPR) comprises a large monophyletic group of bacterial lineages known almost exclusively based on genomes obtained using cultivation-independent methods.

Insights into the bacterial symbiont diversity in spiders [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 AbstractMost spiders are natural enemies of pests, and it is beneficial for the biological control of pests to learn the relationships between symbionts and their spider hosts. Research on the bacterial communities of insects has been conducted recently, but only a few studies have addressed the bacterial communities of spiders.
