Cooperation and conflict within the microbiota and their effects on animal hosts
ART Figueiredo, J Kramer - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Symbioses between animals and microbes are ubiquitous, and often have drastic fitness
effects on both parties. A rapidly growing body of research now shows that many of these …

Global patterns of diversity and metabolism of microbial communities in deep-sea hydrothermal vent deposits
Background When deep-sea hydrothermal fluids mix with cold oxygenated fluids, minerals
precipitate out of solution and form hydrothermal deposits. These actively venting deep-sea …

Fueled by methane: deep-sea sponges from asphalt seeps gain their nutrition from methane-oxidizing symbionts
Sponges host a remarkable diversity of microbial symbionts, however, the benefit their
microbes provide is rarely understood. Here, we describe two new sponge species from …

Host-Microbe Interactions in the Chemosynthetic Riftia pachyptila Symbiosis
The deep-sea tubeworm Riftia pachyptila lacks a digestive system but completely relies on
