Ultrasmall epibiont Nanosynbacter lyticus strain TM7x and host bacteria transcriptional activity after initial host parasitism [PDF]
Journal of Oral MicrobiologyBackground 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

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

Living on the Edge: Variation in the Abundance and Demography of a Kelp Forest Epibiont
Diversity, 2019 The ecology of an epibiont may depend not only on the dynamics of its biogenic habitat but also on microclimate variation generated within aggregations of its host, a process called physical ecosystem engineering.

Genetic responses of the marine copepod Acartia tonsa (Dana) to heat shock and epibiont infestation
Aquaculture Reports, 2015 Expression of stress-related genes was investigated in the marine copepod Acartia tonsa in relation to heat shock at two different salinities (10 and 32‰), and it was furthermore investigated whether experimentally induced epibiont infestation led to ...

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 (
