Iron Necessity: The Secret of Wolbachia's Success? [PDF]
, 2014 The bacterium Wolbachia (order Rickettsiales) is probably the world's most successful vertically-transmitted symbiont, distributed among a staggering 40% of terrestrial arthropod species. Wolbachia has great potential in vector control due to its ability

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1798-1813, August 2025.Abstract Meteorites are easily contaminated at the Earth's surface by microbial activity. Here, DNA extracts from two meteorite specimens and samples from curation laboratory surfaces are analyzed with amplicon sequencing, to understand microbial communities that contaminate meteorites and that may be resident in curation facilities.

Breath-giving cooperation: critical review of origin of mitochondria hypotheses Major unanswered questions point to the importance of early ecology [PDF]
, 2017 The origin of mitochondria is a unique and hard evolutionary problem, embedded within the origin of eukaryotes. The puzzle is challenging due to the egalitarian nature of the transition where lower-level units took over energy metabolism.
