Ultrasmall epibiont Nanosynbacter lyticus strain TM7x and host bacteria transcriptional activity after initial host parasitism [PDF]
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2023 Background Oral Saccharibacteria Nanosynbacter lyticus strain TM7× lives as an ultrasmall epibiont on the surface of its host, Schaalia odontolytica strain XH001. Establishing this interaction is a poorly understood multi-step process. The recovery phase

Response of Posidonia oceanica seagrass and its epibiont communities to ocean acidification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The unprecedented rate of CO2 increase in our atmosphere and subsequent ocean acidification (OA) threatens coastal ecosystems. To forecast the functioning of coastal seagrass ecosystems in acidified oceans, more knowledge on the long-term adaptive ...

Epibiont Cohabitation in Freshwater Shrimp Neocaridina davidi with the Description of Two Species New to Science, Cladogonium kumaki sp. nov. and Monodiscus kumaki sp. nov., and Redescription of Scutariella japonica and Holtodrilus truncatus. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2023 Simple Summary Examination of epibiont distribution in Neocaridina davidi shrimp revealed occurrence of two species new to science. The number of epibionts differed between the four designated microhabitats on the host body, as well as between wild ...

A survey of epibiont hydrozoans on Sargassum. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The brown alga Sargassum provides a natural substrate occupied by hydrozoans in shallow marine waters. A global count in 2007 listed 39 epibiotic species of Hydrozoa growing on Sargassum, but more studies have been published since, therefore, an update ...

Epibiont Assemblages on Nesting Hawksbill Turtles Show Site-Specificity in the Persian Gulf
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sea turtle epibionts can provide insights into the hosts' habitat use. However, at present, there is a lack of information on sea turtle epibiont communities in many locations worldwide. Here, we describe the epibiont communities of 46 hawksbill turtles (

Transcriptome of Epibiont Saccharibacteria Nanosynbacter lyticus Strain TM7x During the Establishment of Symbiosis. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2022 Nanosynbacter lyticus type strain TM7x is the first cultivated member of the Saccharibacteria and the candidate phyla radiation (CPR). It was discovered to be ultrasmall in cell size with a highly reduced genome that establishes an obligate epibiotic ...

Truly a hyperparasite, or simply an epibiont on a parasite? The case of Cyclocotyla bellones (Monogenea, Diclidophoridae). [PDF]
Parasite, 2022 Cyclocotyla bellones Otto, 1823 (Monogenea, Diclidophoridae) is one of the few monogenean species reported as hyperparasitic: the worms dwell on cymothoid isopods, themselves parasites of the buccal cavity of fishes. We present here observations based on

A dynamic epibiont community associated with the bone-eating polychaete genus Osedax [PDF]
mBio, 2023 Osedax, the deep-sea annelid found at sunken whalefalls, is known to host Oceanospirillales bacterial endosymbionts intracellularly in specialized roots, which help it feed exclusively on vertebrate bones. Past studies, however, have also made mention of
