The Plant-Microbe Alliance for Environmental Restoration: From Nature-Inspired Solutions to Engineered Ecological Recovery. [PDF]
Conceptual transition from traditional plant‐centred restoration approaches towards holobiont engineering for ecosystem recovery. While early restoration strategies primarily focused on plant establishment, accumulating evidence demonstrates that ecosystem resilience depends on functional interactions between plants and their associated microbiomes ...

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

On the holobiont ‘predictome’ of immunocompetence in pigs
Abstract Background Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction of complex traits, although methods to optimize this are still largely unexplored.

Report: Laura Misch x holobiont [PDF]
This report outlines and evaluates the work my collective, holobiont, did with the musician Laura Misch. We looked at her music practice to identify ways to embed ecological, social, cultural and economic sustainability into her creative process and ...

Abstract Organismal biology has undergone a dramatic paradigm shift in the last decade. The realization that host cells and genes are outnumbered by symbiotic microbial cells and their genes has forced us to rethink our focus on ‘individuals’. It is also becoming increasingly clear that the ecology and biology of animals and plants are intimately ...

Harnessing the Power of Model Organisms To Unravel Microbial Functions in the Coral Holobiont
Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change and other anthropogenic stressors that manifest in microbial dysbiosis such as ...

Dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism within the coral holobiont [PDF]
Felicity Kuek studied dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism within the coral holobiont focusing on the role of coral-associated bacteria in the production of DMSP, and the possible functions of its catabolic product, acrylate.

A metaphysical approach to holobiont individuality: Holobionts as emergent individuals
Abstract: Holobionts are symbiotic assemblages composed by a host plus its microbiome. The status of holobionts as individuals has recently been a subject of continuous controversy, which has given rise to two main positions: on the one hand, holobiont advocates argue that holobionts are biological individuals; on the other, holobiont detractors argue ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and oyster holobiont response to acidification and hypoxia
The data set is composed of data measured from an experiment involving exposing oyster holobiont to acidification and hypoxia. We aimed to understand the physiological trade-offs involved in oysters based on their exposure to stressful environments and ...
