It’s exciting to see converging evidence across systems! 😀
Alongside the new work on gutless worms, our study shows that organosulfur cycling is also essential in lucinid holobionts. Lucinid host provides DMSP to its symbionts, sulphur-oxidising Thiodiazotropha and, a new member, Endozoicomonas.

Preprint alert 🔔 Organosulfur compounds support carbon and energy metabolism in chemosynthetic symbiosis. Happy to see this cool collaboration with @organosulfur.bsky.social and others out 🥳
New preprint!
We explore how gutless marine worms and their bacterial symbionts use organosulfur compounds like DMSP and DMS - key molecules in marine sulfur cycling.
Our results show that these compounds support carbon and energy metabolism in the Olavius algarvensis symbiosis.

Had a great time yesterday presenting my efforts to use large-scale computational analyses to better understand marine microbes and their impact on carbon cycling. Thanks #SAME18 for the opportunity!

One of the chapters of my PhD thesis made it into a preprint last night. We found a widespread association of placozoans with Rickettsiales symbionts across host species and environments. Happy to hear your thoughts on it 🧬
