Host-microbe coevolution: applying evidence from model systems to complex marine invertebrate holobionts
Marine invertebrates often host diverse microbial communities, making it difficult to identify
important symbionts and to understand how these communities are structured. This …

A genomic view of the microbiome of coral reef demosponges
Sponges underpin the productivity of coral reefs, yet few of their microbial symbionts have
been functionally characterised. Here we present an analysis of~ 1200 metagenome …

Distinct genomic routes underlie transitions to specialised symbiotic lifestyles in deep-sea annelid worms
Bacterial symbioses allow annelids to colonise extreme ecological niches, such as
hydrothermal vents and whale falls. Yet, the genetic principles sustaining these symbioses …

Metagenomes reveal global distribution of bacterial steroid catabolism in natural, engineered, and host environments
Steroids are abundant growth substrates for bacteria in natural, engineered, and host-
associated environments. This study analyzed the distribution of the aerobic 9, 10-seco …

Global patterns in symbiont selection and transmission strategies in sponges
Sponges host dense and diverse communities of microbes (known as the microbiome)
beneficial for the host nutrition and defense. Symbionts in turn receive shelter and …

Genomic view of the diversity and functional role of archaea and bacteria in the skeleton of the reef-building corals Porites lutea and Isopora palifera
At present, our knowledge on the compartmentalization of coral holobiont microbiomes is
highly skewed toward the millimeter-thin coral tissue, leaving the diverse coral skeleton …
