Costless metabolic secretions as drivers of interspecies interactions in microbial ecosystems [PDF]
, 2018 Metabolic exchange mediates interactions among microbes, helping explain diversity in microbial communities. As these interactions often involve a fitness cost, it is unclear how stable cooperation can emerge. Here we use genome-scale metabolic models to

Sea Turtle Epibiosis: Global Patterns and Knowledge Gaps
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Competition for space drives many marine propagules to colonize the external surfaces of other marine organisms, a phenomenon known as epibiosis. Epibiosis appears to be a universal phenomenon among sea turtles and an extensive body of scientific ...

What’s in a word: the use, misuse and abuse of the word persistence in Chlamydia biology
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 The word persistence was used by Chlamydia researchers almost as soon as Chlamydia research was born to reflect the propensity of chlamydiae to cause inapparent infection in their hosts, from birds to humans.

Mucosal IgA Prevents Commensal Candida albicans Dysbiosis in the Oral Cavity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 The fungus Candida albicans colonizes the oral mucosal surface of 30–70% of healthy individuals. Due to local or systemic immunosuppression, this commensal fungus is able to proliferate resulting in oral disease, called oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC ...

Life history of Perarella schneideri (Hydrozoa, Cytaedidae) in the Ligurian Sea
Scientia Marina, 2000 Perarella schneideri is a cytaeidid hydroid living in association with the bryozoan Schizoporella longirostris. In this study we have distinguished the presence of two kinds of polyps in its colonies: large gastrozooids and very extensible filiform ...

Optimal Number, Location, and Size of Distributed Generators in Distribution Systems by Symbiotic Organism Search Based Method [PDF]
, 2017 This paper proposes an approach based on the Symbiotic Organism Search (SOS) for optimal determining sizing, siting, and number of Distributed Generations (DG) in distribution systems. The objective of the problem is to minimize the power loss of the
