Microbes are widely recognized to be vital to host health. This new consensus rests, in part,
on experiments showing how hosts malfunction when microbes are removed. More and …

Abstract The order Holosporales (Alphaproteobacteria) encompasses obligate intracellular
bacterial symbionts of diverse Eukaryotes. These bacteria have highly streamlined genomes …

Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are virus-like structures that package and transfer prokaryotic
DNA from donor to recipient prokaryotic cells. Here, we describe widespread GTA gene …

Holosporales are an alphaproteobacterial lineage encompassing bacteria obligatorily
associated with multiple diverse eukaryotes. For most representatives, little is known on the …

archaeological excavation of a pre-industrial coal mining exploration shaft provides detailed …

Protists frequently host diverse bacterial symbionts, in particular those affiliated with the
order Holosporales (Alphaproteobacteria). All characterised members of this bacterial …

Globin (Gb) domains function in sensing gaseous ligands like oxygen and nitric oxide. In
