Engineering Mycorrhizal Symbioses to Alter Plant Metabolism and Improve Crop Health

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Creating sustainable bioeconomies for the 21st century relies on optimizing the use of biological resources to improve agricultural productivity and create new products. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (phylum Glomeromycota) form symbiotic relationships with over

Genome dynamics across the evolutionary transition to endosymbiosis.

Endosymbiosis-where a microbe lives and replicates within a host-is an important contributor to organismal function that has accelerated evolutionary innovations and catalyzed the evolution of complex life.

Coral lipid bodies as the relay center interconnecting diel-dependent lipidomic changes in different cellular compartments

Scientific Reports, 2017
Lipid bodies (LBs) in the coral gastrodermal tissues are key organelles in the regulation of endosymbiosis and exhibit a diel rhythmicity. Using the scleractinian Euphyllia glabrescens collected across the diel cycle, we observed temporally dynamic lipid

Wolbachia injection from usual to naive host in Drosophila simulans (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
Wolbachia pipientis (Hertig) (Rickettsiaceae) is an endocellular bacterium infecting numerous species of arthropods. The bacterium is harboured by males and females but is only transmitted maternally because spermatocytes shed their Wolbachia during ...

Organellar Evolution: A Path from Benefit to Dependence

Microorganisms, 2022
Eukaryotic organelles supposedly evolved from their bacterial ancestors because of their benefits to host cells. However, organelles are quite often retained, even when the beneficial metabolic pathway is lost, due to something other than the original ...

Endosymbiosis in protozoa of the Trypanosomatidae family [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999
A small number of trypanosomatids present bacterium endosymbionts in the cytoplasm, which divide synchronously with the host cell. Crithidia oncopleti, Crithidia deanei. Crithidia desouzai, Blastocrithidia culicis and Herpetomonas roitmani are the best characterized species.

Phylogenomic analysis of "red" genes from two divergent species of the "green" secondary phototrophs, the chlorarachniophytes, suggests multiple horizontal gene transfers from the red lineage before the divergence of extant chlorarachniophytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The plastids of chlorarachniophytes were derived from an ancestral green alga via secondary endosymbiosis. Thus, genes from the "green" lineage via secondary endosymbiotic gene transfer (EGT) are expected in the nuclear genomes of the Chlorarachniophyta.

Metatranscriptomic Analysis of Corals Inoculated With Tolerant and Non-Tolerant Symbiont Exposed to High Temperature and Light Stress

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Algal symbionts of corals can influence host stress resistance; for example, in the Pacific Ocean, whereas Cladocopium (C-type) is generally dominant in corals, Durusdinium (D-type) is found in more heat-resistant corals.

Eco-evolutionary modelling of microbial syntrophy indicates the robustness of cross-feeding over cross-facilitation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Syntrophic cooperation among prokaryotes is ubiquitous and diverse. It relies on unilateral or mutual aid that may be both catalytic and metabolic in nature.

Endosymbiotic interactions in the fungal kingdom: a framework for progressive endosymbiosis

Frontiers in Microbiology
Endosymbiotic interactions in fungi are fundamental to ecological and evolutionary processes; however, despite their potential to elucidate key mechanisms of biological integration, they remain insufficiently explored.
