Clonal Plants as Meta-Holobionts

open access: yesmSystems, 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 ...

A community perspective on the concept of marine holobionts: current status, challenges, and future directions [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Host-microbe interactions play crucial roles in marine ecosystems. However, we still have very little understanding of the mechanisms that govern these relationships, the evolutionary processes that shape them, and their ecological consequences.

Holobiont Evolution: Mathematical Model with Vertical vs. Horizontal Microbiome Transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A holobiont is a composite organism consisting of a host together with its microbiome, such as a coral with its zooxanthellae. To explain the often intimate integration between hosts and their microbiomes, some investigators contend that selection ...

Gut microbiome structure and adrenocortical activity in dogs with aggressive and phobic behavioral disorders

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
Accompanying human beings since the Paleolithic period, dogs has been recently regarded as a reliable model for the study of the gut microbiome connections with health and disease.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

What is a hologenomic adaptation? Emergent individuality and inter-identity in multispecies systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Contemporary biological research has suggested that some host–microbiome multispecies systems (referred to as “holobionts”) can in certain circumstances evolve as unique biological individual, thus being a unit of selection in evolution.

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

open access: yesMicrobial 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

The holobiont concept before Margulis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2020
Abstract In recent years, Lynn Margulis has been credited in various articles as the person who introduced the concept of holobiont into biology in the early 1990s. Today, the origin of evolutionary studies on holobionts is closely linked to her name.
