We're excited to share with everyone a preprint of our manuscript that resolves the cellular origins of the symbiosome in cnidarian-algal symbiosis through proteomics of the symbiosome, RNAi, and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments. ⬇️

What could be more exciting than watching Euplotes scurry around under the microscope? How about adding some raptorial predation by supergiant cannibal cells?

Aiptasia oral regeneration is host-controlled but supported by symbiont-derived photosynthates - Symbiosis
The study of oral regeneration in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (commonly called Aiptasia) - a prominent model for the study of coral-algal symbiosis - offers the unique opportunity to investiga...

New paper comparing the light organ symbiosis in the hummingbird bobtail squid to the infamous Hawaiian bobtail squid.
Congrats to @markjmandel.bsky.social and crew, and thanks for letting me take some light organ images for the pub!

Euprymna berryi as a comparative model host for Vibrio fischeri light organ symbiosis | Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Microbiome studies have been substantially advanced by model systems that enable functional interrogation of the roles of the partners and the molecular communication between those partners. The Euprymna scolopes-Vibrio fischeri system has contributed ...

Excited to share our first paper on the symbiosis between chlamydiae and social amoebae showing in detail the adaptations of endosymbionts to the social life style of their host! 🎉
Exciting new research! Matthias Horn & Lukas Helmlinger from #CeMESS uncover how chlamydiae thrive in social amoebae by skipping their extracellular stage.
Read their groundbreaking study in Current Biology (@currentbiology.bsky.social):

New Paper: Chlamydiae give up extracellular stage to thrive in social amoebae
Many intracellular bacteria rely on an extracellular stage to move between hosts – but what happens when that’s no longer needed? A new study, now published in Current Biology, reveals a striking exam...

after coming home from animal-microbe symbiosis GRC (the most wonderful first grc experience🥹), I’ve officially turned into a bug photographer 😅 here is a nice assassin bug (Zelus sp?) from peach picking in Brentwood 🥹🥹 #bugphotos
