New #microbiome paper from our lab @ioes-ju.bsky.social! Unexpected host associations for Bartonellaceae - a bacterial family primarily known as mammalian pathogens. Striking #symbiont evolutionary trajectories, exemplified by a highly reduced, 158kb genome with no nutrient biosynthetic capacity!
Ma, @annamichalik.bsky.social, Deng, Hu & @sympiotr.bsky.social discover the presence of Bartonellaceae bacteria in planthoppers, broadening the host spectrum of nonpathogenic Bartonellaceae.

Contrasting Genomic Trajectories of Bartonellaceae Symbionts of Planthoppers
Abstract. Symbioses with microorganisms have shaped the nutritional biology and evolution of many insects. For example, several ant clades have adapted to

It was great to host in Kraków Dr. João Araújo from the Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen. During his visit, João gave a fascinating talk entitled “The diversity and evolution of Ophiocordyceps fungi through zombies and symbionts“.
