A research symbiont [PDF]

Science, 2016
M. McNutt (“#IAMARESEARCHPARASITE,” Editorial, 4 March, p. [1005][1]) can be proud to be a “research parasite.” The creators of this term, Longo and Drazen ([ 1 ][2]), miss the very point of scientific research when they write that researchers may “even use the [open] data to try ...

Can Differences in Symbiont Transmission Mode Explain the Abundance and Distribution of Fungus-Growing Termites in West Africa?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Fungus-growing termites (Isoptera: Macrotermitinae) dominate African savannah ecosystems where they play important roles in ecosystem functioning. Their ecological dominance in these ecosystems has been attributed to living in an ectosymbiosis with fungi

Bioecology and pathogenicity of Proteus bacteria: A literature review

Ukrainian Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2022
The role of Proteus bacteria in human and animal pathology has increased significantly in recent years, causing acute intestinal diseases, respiratory, hearing, nervous and urinary systems, as well as contributing to the formation of kidney and bladder ...

Microbial Symbionts of Parasitoids

Annual Review of Entomology, 2020
Parasitoids depend on other insects for the development of their offspring. Their eggs are laid in or on a host insect that is consumed during juvenile development. Parasitoids harbor a diversity of microbial symbionts including viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

Localization of the Swainsonine-Producing Chaetothyriales Symbiont in the Seed and Shoot Apical Meristem in Its Host Ipomoea carnea

Microorganisms, 2022
Several species of fungi from the orders Chaetothyriales and Pleosporales have been reported to produce swainsonine and be associated as symbionts with plants of the Convolvulaceae and Fabaceae, respectively.

Defensive symbionts [PDF]

Current Biology, 2019
Interactions in nature vary from competitive to neutral to symbiotic. An interesting case of symbiosis is seen when one organism provides protection to the other-a relationship termed 'defensive symbiosis'. Kayla King highlights this interesting type of relationship, which can be found throughout the tree of life.

Interactions of the Intracellular Bacterium Cardinium with Its Host, the House Dust Mite Dermatophagoides farinae, Based on Gene Expression Data

mSystems, 2021
Dermatophagoides farinae is inhabited by an intracellular bacterium, Cardinium. Using correlations between host and symbiont gene expression profiles, we identified several important molecular pathways that potentially regulate/facilitate their ...

Physiological and Transcriptomic Variability Indicative of Differences in Key Functions Within a Single Coral Colony

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Polyps in different locations on individual stony coral colonies experience variation in numerous environmental conditions including flow and light, potentially leading to transcriptional and physiological differences across the colony. Here, we describe

Deciphering Symbiotic Interactions of “Candidatus Aenigmarchaeota” with Inferred Horizontal Gene Transfers and Co-occurrence Networks

mSystems, 2021
“Candidatus Aenigmarchaeota” (“Ca. Aenigmarchaeota”) represents one of the earliest proposed evolutionary branches within the Diapherotrites, Parvarchaeota, Aenigmarchaeota, Nanoarchaeota, and Nanohaloarchaeota (DPANN) superphylum.

Evolution of Expending Extra Effort in Making a Dung Mass before Making a Brood Ball in the Nesting Behavior of the Female Dung Beetle Copris acutidens (Coleoptera; Scarabaeoidea)

Diversity, 2023
Nutrient limitations have often caused the evolution of mechanisms for efficient nutrient acquisition. The mouthparts of adult dung beetles efficiently acquire nutrients from a fiber-rich diet.
