How and when symbionts are acquired by their animal hosts has a profound impact on the ecology evolution of symbiosis. Understanding symbiont acquisition is particularly challenging in deep-sea organisms because early life stages so rarely found. Here, we collected developmental three bathymodioline species from different habitats to identify these acquire how body plan adapts symbiotic lifestyle. These mussels gain nutrition chemosynthetic bacteria, allowing them thrive at vents seeps...
The intracellular lifestyle of Salmonella enterica is characterized by the formation a replication-permissive membrane-bound niche, Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV). As further consequence massive remodeling host cell endosomal system, establish unique network various Salmonella-induced tubules (SIT). bacterial repertoire effector proteins required for establishment one type these SIT, filaments (SIF), rather well-defined. However, corresponding are still poorly understood. To identify...
Vestimentiferan tubeworms are key taxa in deep-sea chemosynthetic habitats worldwide. As adults they obtain their nutrition through sulfide-oxidizing bacterial endosymbionts, which acquired from the environment. Although horizontal transmission should favor infections by various symbiotic microbes, current paradigm holds that every tubeworm harbors only one endosymbiotic 16S rRNA phylotype. previous studies based on traditional Sanger sequencing have questioned these findings, population...
The three-dimensional (3D) architecture of organs, tissues and cells together with the spatial distribution specific molecules, both enables drives close interactions between hosts microbes. To image 3D anatomy molecular composition an animal-microbe system at a single cell scale we developed correlative workflow combining phase-contrast synchrotron radiation based micro-computed tomography (PC-SRμCT) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). key challenge in techniques was synchronization sample...
Abstract Symbiotic associations between animals and microorganisms are widespread have a profound impact on the ecology, behaviour, physiology, evolution of host. Research deep-sea mussels genus Bathymodiolus has revealed how chemosynthetic symbionts sustain their host with energy, allowing them to survive in nutrient-poor environment deep ocean. However, date, we know little about initial symbiont colonization this is integrated into early development these mussels. Here analysed...
