Prokaryotic horizontal gene transfer within the human holobiont: ecological-evolutionary inferences, implications and possibilities [PDF]

Microbiome, 2018
The ubiquity of horizontal gene transfer in the living world, especially among prokaryotes, raises interesting and important scientific questions regarding its effects on the human holobiont i.e., the human and its resident bacterial communities ...

Impact of lignans in oilseed mix on gut microbiome composition and enterolignan production in younger healthy and premenopausal women: an in vitro pilot study

Microbial Cell Factories, 2020
Background Dietary lignans belong to the group of phytoestrogens together with coumestans, stilbenes and isoflavones, and themselves do not exhibit oestrogen-like properties.

Species-specific viromes in the ancestral holobiont Hydra. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Recent evidence showing host specificity of colonizing bacteria supports the view that multicellular organisms are holobionts comprised of the macroscopic host in synergistic interdependence with a heterogeneous and host-specific microbial community ...

Corals and Sponges Under the Light of the Holobiont Concept: How Microbiomes Underpin Our Understanding of Marine Ecosystems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the past 20 years, a new concept has slowly emerged and expanded to various domains of marine biology research: the holobiont. A holobiont describes the consortium formed by a eukaryotic host and its associated microorganisms including bacteria ...

Conceptualization of the Holobiont Paradigm as It Pertains to Corals

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Corals’ obligate association with unicellular dinoflagellates, family Symbiodiniaceae form the foundation of coral reefs. For nearly a century, researchers have delved into understanding the coral-algal mutualism from multiple levels of resolution and ...

The Intra-Dependence of Viruses and the Holobiont

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Animals live in symbiosis with the microorganisms surrounding them. This symbiosis is necessary for animal health, as a symbiotic breakdown can lead to a disease state.

The roles and interactions of symbiont, host and environment in defining coral fitness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Reef-building corals live in symbiosis with a diverse range of dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium) that differentially influence the fitness of the coral holobiont.

Clonal Plants as Meta-Holobionts

mSystems, 2019
The holobiont concept defines a given organism and its associated symbionts as a potential level of selection over evolutionary time. In clonal plants, recent experiments demonstrated vertical transmission of part of the microbiota from one ramet (i.e ...

Applying Tissue Separation and Untargeted Metabolomics to Understanding Lipid Saturation Kinetics of Host Mitochondria and Symbiotic Algae in Corals Under High Temperature Stress

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Untargeted metabolomics is a powerful tool for profiling the biochemical phenotypes of organisms and discovering new metabolites that drive biological function and might be exploited as pharmaceutical leads.
