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

Heliyon, 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.

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

, 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 ...

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 ...

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.

Harnessing the Power of Model Organisms To Unravel Microbial Functions in the Coral Holobiont

, 2022
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]

, 2021
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

Quaderns de Filosofia, 2019
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 ...

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.

Conserving the holobiont

Functional Ecology, 2020
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 ...

Hidden Fungal Diversity of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This study reveals diverse cultivable fungi associated with the red coral Corallium rubrum, highlighting both potentially beneficial and pathogenic species. These findings emphasize the biotechnological relevance and ecological impact of coral‐associated fungi, especially as climate change may increase disease risks.
