Genomic Characterization of a Novel Tenericutes Bacterium from Deep-Sea Holothurian Intestine
Microorganisms, 2020 Intestinal bacterial communities are highly relevant to the digestion, nutrition, growth, reproduction, and immunity of animals, but little is known about the composition and function of intestinal microbiota in deep-sea invertebrates. In this study, the

Alone Yet Not Alone: Frankia Lives Under the Same Roof With Other Bacteria in Actinorhizal Nodules
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Actinorhizal plants host mutualistic symbionts of the nitrogen-fixing actinobacterial genus Frankia within nodule structures formed on their roots. Several plant-growth-promoting bacteria have also been isolated from actinorhizal root nodules, but little

Secondary symbionts affect aphid fitness and the titer of primary symbiont
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Bacterial symbionts associated with aphids are important for their ecological fitness. The corn leaf aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch), is one of the most damaging aphid pests on maize and has been reported to harbor Hamiltonella defensa and Regiella insecticola while the effects of the secondary symbionts (S-symbionts) on host ecology and primary ...

Facultative symbionts are potential agents of symbiont-mediated RNAi in aphids
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Aphids are major crop pests, and they can be controlled through the application of the promising RNA interference (RNAi) techniques. However, chemical synthesis yield of dsRNA for RNAi is low and costly. Another sustainable aphid pest control strategy takes advantage of symbiont-mediated RNAi (SMR), which can generate dsRNA by engineered microbes ...

A symbiont's guide to the germline
, 2019 Microbial symbioses exhibit astounding adaptations, yet all symbionts face the problem of how to reliably associate with host offspring every generation. A common strategy is vertical transmission, in which symbionts are directly transmitted from the female to her offspring.

Host-Microbe Interactions in the Chemosynthetic
mBio, 2019 The deep-sea tubeworm Riftia pachyptila lacks a digestive system but completely relies on bacterial endosymbionts for nutrition. Although the symbiont has been studied in detail on the molecular level, such analyses were unavailable for the animal host ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Our intestine is the site of an extraordinarily complex and dynamic environmentally transmitted consortial symbiosis. The molecular foundations of beneficial symbiotic host-bacterial relationships in the gut are being revealed in part from studies of simplified models of this ecosystem, where germ-free mice are colonized with ...
