In natural environments, microbial communities must constantly adapt to stressful environmental conditions. The genetic and phenotypic mechanisms underlying the adaptive response of microbial communities to new (and often complex) environments can be ...

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]
In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...

Phenotype Heritability in holobionts: An Evolutionary Model [PDF]
AbstractMany complex diseases are expressed with high incidence only in certain populations. Genealogy studies determine that these diseases are inherited with a high probability. However, genetic studies have been unable to identify the genomic signatures responsible for such heritability, as identifying the genetic variants that make a population ...

Reef-building corals owe much of their success to a symbiosis with dinoflagellate microalgae in the genus Symbiodinium. In this association, the performance of each organism is tied to that of its partner, and together the partners form a holobiont that

Close reciprocal interactions in symbiotic systems have suggested the holobiont concept, in which the host and its microbiota are considered as a single entity.

The coral core microbiome identifies rare bacterial taxa as ubiquitous endosymbionts [PDF]
© 2015 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved. Despite being one of the simplest metazoans, corals harbor some of the most highly diverse and abundant microbial communities.

Heterotrophic dependence and bidirectional metabolite exchange dynamics in a temperate coral
Abstract In temperate ecosystems, where cold, turbid waters constrain symbiotic potential, corals have evolved facultative symbiosis, providing an opportunity to explore coral energetics in the face of global climate change. We conducted an in situ light exclusion experiment on the facultatively symbiotic temperate coral Astrangia poculata to explore ...

Microbial interactions within the plant holobiont [PDF]
Since the colonization of land by ancestral plant lineages 450 million years ago, plants and their associated microbes have been interacting with each other, forming an assemblage of species that is often referred to as a "holobiont." Selective pressure acting on holobiont components has likely shaped plant-associated microbial communities and selected

Symbiosis through exploitation and the merger of lineages in evolution [PDF]
A model for the coevolution of two species in facultative symbiosis is used to investigate conditions under which species merge to form a single reproductive unit.

An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,
