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.

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...

Happy to be in the GRC Animal-microbiome symbiosis sharing my transcriptomic photosymbiosis work. I learned a lot from amazing colleagues and really interesting research. Looking forward to have more discussion! Visit my poster Wednesday #16. #GRC #GRS #photosymbiosis

With science based solutions and collaboration, it's still possible to help coral reefs. Ocean day has to be hope for all of us, especially for researchers in the marine field...please do not forget that!
🪸 On this #WorldOceanDay, let’s remember that coral reefs host incredible biodiversity, supply our food, and support our health and livelihoods, incl. through tourism, and are vulnerable to climate change, overfishing and pollution. 🧪🌏

These parasite-like partners have lost photosynthesis but retained chlorophyll... are they friend or foe?

Happy 100th Birthday #Wolbachia! This "Mother of all Microbes" is in the bright spotlight at The Scientist www.the-scientist.com/wolbachia-tu...
Wolbachia Turns 100: The Journey of a Triumphant Endosymbiont
In a century, Wolbachia has gone from a master reproductive manipulator to a partner in the fight against pathogens, exemplifying how a microbe can shape hosts and diseases.

It’s true, you only see what you’re looking for: After decades studying chemosynthetic symbionts in clam gills, we realized they colonize the digestive tract too 😱
