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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

The Sponge Hologenome

open access: yesmBio, 2016
A paradigm shift has recently transformed the field of biological science; molecular advances have revealed how fundamentally important microorganisms are to many aspects of a host’s phenotype and evolution. In the process, an era of “holobiont” research

The Complexity of the Holobiont in the Red Sea Coral Euphyllia paradivisa under Heat Stress

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
The recognition of the microbiota complexity and their role in the evolution of their host is leading to the popularization of the holobiont concept. However, the coral holobiont (host and its microbiota) is still enigmatic and unclear.

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

open access: yesMicrobiome, 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 ...

What is the hologenome concept of evolution? [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2018
All multicellular organisms are colonized by microbes, but a gestalt study of the composition of microbiome communities and their influence on the ecology and evolution of their macroscopic hosts has only recently become possible.

The sponge holobiont in a changing ocean: from microbes to ecosystems

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2018
The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now considered holobionts, complex ecosystems consisting of the host, the microbiota ...

A de novo approach to disentangle partner identity and function in holobiont systems

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2018
Background Study of meta-transcriptomic datasets involving non-model organisms represents bioinformatic challenges. The production of chimeric sequences and our inability to distinguish the taxonomic origins of the sequences produced are inherent and ...

De novo metatranscriptomic exploration of gene function in the millipede holobiont

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Invertebrate–microbial associations are widespread in the biosphere and are often related to the function of novel genes, fitness advantages, and even speciation events.
