Microbial Mind Control [PDF]

open access: yesCell Host & Microbe, 2020
Every animal is in constant communication with populations of microbes. In a recent study, O'Donnell and colleagues (2020) uncover an inter-domain conversation, defining a relationship in which a non-pathogenic microbe directly synthesizes a signal that alters host behavior for a mutually beneficial outcome.
