Ciliates as Symbionts

open access: yes, 2022
Although many ciliates are free-living, more than 140 families of ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) include symbiotic species of animals. Symbiosis, defined as an interaction between two species, is analyzed in this chapter to show a wide diversity of symbiotic systems in ciliates (epibiosis, commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism), providing some data

Potential of Indonesian Marine Endophytic Fungi as Extracellular Enzymes Producers

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
Marine endophytic fungi inhabit the internal tissues of seaweed, seagrass, and mangroves without causing harm. These fungi are known to produce extracellular enzymes, including proteases and cellulases, which play crucial roles in various biological ...

Community structure of heritable viruses in a Drosophila-parasitoids complex

open access: yesPeer Community Journal
The diversity and phenotypic impacts related to the presence of heritable bacteria in insects have been extensively studied in the last decades. On the contrary, heritable viruses have been overlooked for several reasons, including technical ones.

Plant-Mediated Horizontal Transmission of Asaia Between White-Backed Planthoppers, Sogatella furcifera

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Asaia is a bacterial symbiont of sugar-feeding insects that has been shown to be vertically transmitted by maternal transmission and paternal transmission mechanism, and to be horizontally transmitted via co-feeding artificial diet and venereal routes ...

Early Progress in Aphid Genomics and Consequences for Plant–Aphid Interactions Studies

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2008
Aphids occupy a niche comprising two conceptual realms: a micron-scale feeding site beneath the plant surface, in which a syringe-like appendage mediates chemical exchange with a specific plant cell type; and the larger realm of a metazoan with sensory ...

Effects of priority on strain-level composition of the honey bee gut community

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology
Host-associated microbiomes are complex communities shaped by interactions between members. The type VI secretion system (T6SS), among other bacterial weapons, allows gram-negative bacteria to deliver toxic effectors into competitors.
