Prize for most stunning image at #EESSymbiosis? @NicoleDubilier just won hands-down... amazing #FIB_SEM imaging of S-fixing #symbionts in #mussel gills - the symbionts are "in" the host cells, but topologically extracellular, in a network of channels connected to sea water.

Using #SeaAnemone Aiptasia as a model for the #coral-#Dinoflagellate system, @Guse_Lab asks why LAMP1-coated #symbionts are tolerated, while non-symbionts are ejected via #vomocytosis - symbiont seems to suppress host immune system; host mTOR signalling also key. #EESSymbiosis

Day 2 of #EESSymbiosis - @pjkeelinglab remote (is it ~midnight in BC?!) - big-pic view of #symbiosis across the ToL - instability is the default, involving "professional #symbionts"/"couch-surfers" - ancient endosymbiosis may be the exception...

.@SymbiosisRox looking at bacterial #symbionts in the gill tissues of #HydrothermalVent #molluscs (across 6 sites) - these seemed to be structured with respect to vent site, and differences in gene content suggest local adaptation (e.g. to hydrogen concentration) #EESSymbiosis

“Human #follicular #mites: #ectoparasites becoming #symbionts” (Smith et al. 2022)
Do you think about the mites that live in your #face #follicles and come out at #night while you #sleep? Maybe you should!
🧬 They’ve #evolved a tiny #genome.
💪🏻 Each leg segment is powered by only one #muscle cell.
😴 They follow your sleep cycles by responding to your #melatonin.
🧫 Lowest number of cells of any #arthropod.
If you find this intriguingly #weird, this paper is for you! 🤯

#Bostrichidae #beetles have two #symbionts with important functions. One encodes the pathways to produce tyrosine precursors and is presumably involved in #cuticle and #exoskeleton formation. The second recycles urea, synthesizes lysine, and is strictly #evolving with its host. These types of "dual symbioses" have only been described in sap-feeding #Hemiptera.

RT @virtigation: #Bacterial #symbionts & #endosymbionts could serve as a novel #whitefly control method. A new study by our partner @LIST_Luxembourg has found that plant-mediated rifampicin treatment of #Bemisiatabaci whitefly disrupts, but does not eliminate endosymbionts https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24788-0#article-info

@nature pics in collage main post centre-two views of #moss and #lichens in the bush on the farm-looking happy with snowmelt on mild days; Does anyone know-- on these days when it is a little above freezing, and snow melts on moss/lichen- they may absorb the water and look 'alive' but do they actually metabolise at these times? #mosstodon #lichensubscribe #botany #NonvascularPlants #symbionts

To y’all finding your way to my profile: Welcome! Here’s a little #introduction
I’m a #microbiologist with a particular interest in #insect #symbionts. After my PhD I moved to #montana (gosh I love and miss that place 💕) and later #arizona to research #mealybug interactions with their symbionts.
After moving back to #Germany I am now focusing on #nextgenerationsequencing technologies in #Leipzig
I like #hiking #photography #gaming #crimenovels and spending more time with my family 😊

Researchers map symbiotic relationships between #trees and #microbes
In and around the tangled roots of the forest floor, #fungi and #bacteria grow with trees, exchanging nutrients for #carbon in a vast, global marketplace. A new effort to map the most abundant of these symbiotic relationships—involving more than 1.1 million #forest sites and 28,000 tree species—has revealed factors that determine where different types of #symbionts will flourish.
