Neutrality in the Metaorganism [PDF]

PLOS Biology, 2018
AbstractAlmost all animals and plants are inhabited by diverse communities of microorganisms, the microbiota, thereby forming an integrated entity, the metaorganism. Natural selection should favor hosts that shape the community composition of these microbes to promote a beneficial host-microbe symbiosis.

Training the metaorganism: the microbial counterpart [PDF]

Cell, 2021
Infection or immunization can reprogram innate immune cells generating memory responses with broad protection against subsequent infection, a process referred to as "trained immunity." A new study by Stacy and colleagues demonstrates that, following acute infection, the commensal microbiota can also be "trained" to enhance colonization resistance ...

Metaorganisms as the new frontier [PDF]

Zoology, 2011
Because it appears that almost all organisms are part of an interdependent metaorganism, an understanding of the underlying host-microbe species associations, and of evolution and molecular underpinnings, has become the new frontier in zoology. The availability of novel high-throughput sequencing methods, together with the conceptual understanding that

Ageing of the human metaorganism: the microbial counterpart [PDF]

AGE, 2011
Human beings have been recently reviewed as 'metaorganisms' as a result of a close symbiotic relationship with the intestinal microbiota. This assumption imposes a more holistic view of the ageing process where dynamics of the interaction between environment, intestinal microbiota and host must be taken into consideration.

Coordinated wound responses in a regenerative animal-algal photosymbiotic metaorganism [PDF]

, 2023
AbstractAnimal regeneration requires coordinated responses of many cell types throughout the animal body. In animals carrying endosymbionts, cells from the other species may also participate in regeneration, but how cellular responses are integrated across species is yet to be unraveled.

Transitioning from microbiome composition to microbial community interactions: the potential of the metaorganism Hydra as an experimental model [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Animals are home to complex microbial communities, which are shaped through interactions within the community, interactions with the host, and through environmental factors.

A Non-Metaproteomics Researchers' View on Metaproteomics in Microbiome Research. [PDF]

Proteomics
ABSTRACT Metaproteomics, an emerging field among the omic techniques, holds great promise for unraveling the function of microbiomes in host health and our environment. Metaproteomics can also be a valuable addition to multiomics studies of the microbiome, complementing genome‐resolved metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metabolomics.

Exploring the niche concept in a simple metaorganism [PDF]

, 2019
Abstract Organisms and their resident microbial communities - the microbiome - form a complex and mostly stable ecosystem. It is known that the specific composition and abundance of certain bacterial species have a major impact on host health and Darwinian fitness , but the processes that lead to these microbial patterns have not yet been identified.

Surface Topography, Bacterial Carrying Capacity, and the Prospect of Microbiome Manipulation in the Sea Anemone Coral Model Aiptasia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Aiptasia is an emerging model organism to study cnidarian symbioses due to its taxonomic relatedness to other anthozoans such as stony corals and similarities of its microalgal and bacterial partners, complementing the existing Hydra (Hydrozoa) and ...

Evaluating Bacteriophage Impact on Vibrio Composition in the Gut of Broad-Nosed Pipefish (Syngnathus typhle). [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Utilising 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and a novel non‐invasive swabbing technique, this investigation demonstrated that introduced bacteriophages can modulate the dynamics of the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus within a tripartite system involving the gut microbiome of the pipefish, Syngnathus typhle, without disrupting core microbial ...
