Membrane vesicles can contribute to cellulose degradation by Teredinibacter turnerae, a cultivable intracellular endosymbiont of shipworms

M. T. Gasser, A. Liu, M. A. Altamia, B. Bresinger, S. L. Brewer, R. Flatau, E. Hancock, S. P. Preheim, C. M. Filone, D. L. Distel

This study shows that Teredinibacter turnerae produces membrane vesicles containing cellulolytic enzymes, which may aid in lignocellulose degradation and host-symbiont interactions.

Cultivation and Fluorescent in situ hybridization suggest that some shipworm species acquire endosymbiotic bacteria through indirect horizontal transmission

L. Speare, D. L. Distel

This study shows that some shipworm species acquire their endosymbiotic bacteria through indirect horizontal transmission rather than vertical transmission.

Secondary metabolism in the gill microbiota of shipworms (Teredinidae) as revealed by comparison of metagenomes and nearly complete symbiont genomes

M. A. Altamia, Z. Lin, A. E. Trindade-Silva, I. D. Uy, J. R. Shipway, D. Veras Wilke, G. P. Concepcion, D. L. Distel, E. W. Schmidt, M. G. Haygood

This study identifies secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways in shipworm symbionts using metagenomes and cultured genomes, showing many novel pathways and predictable host-symbiont co-occurrence patterns.

A highly prevalent and pervasive densovirus discovered among sea stars from the North American Atlantic Coast

E. W. Jackson, C. Pepe-Ranney, M. R. Johnson, D. L. Distel, I. Hewson

This study discovers a new densovirus, AfaDV, prevalent in Atlantic sea stars and shows it is common in their microbiome, not linked to Sea Star Wasting Syndrome.
