Chlamydiae as symbionts of photosynthetic dinoflagellates

This paper identifies a novel chlamydial species infecting photosynthetic dinoflagellates, expanding the known host range of chlamydiae and suggesting potential interactions with chloroplasts.

The bacterial microbiome of the coral skeleton algal symbiont Ostreobium shows preferential associations and signatures of phylosymbiosis

This study identifies preferential bacterial associations with Ostreobium algae and reveals a phylosymbiotic relationship between Ostreobium phylogeny and its core microbiome.

Endozoicomonas-chlamydiae interactions in cell-associated microbial aggregates of the coral Pocillopora acuta

The paper characterizes cell-associated microbial aggregates in coral Pocillopora acuta, identifying bacterial interactions and potential metabolic dependencies.

Unravelling microalgal-bacterial interactions in aquatic ecosystems through 16S rRNA gene-based co-occurrence networks

This study uses 16S rRNA gene-based co-occurrence networks to identify microalgal-bacterial associations in aquatic ecosystems, revealing both known and previously unknown interactions.

Microbiome restructuring: dominant coral bacterium Endozoicomonas species display differential adaptive capabilities to environmental changes

This study examines how dominant coral bacteria, Endozoicomonas species, adapt to environmental changes through a reciprocal transplant experiment and genomic analysis.

Response of Endozoicomonas montiporae to heat stress and coral host lysates

This study investigates how E. montiporae responds to heat stress and coral host lysates by analyzing protein expression changes.

A genomic view of coral-associated Prosthecochloris and a companion sulfate-reducing bacterium

This study identifies and characterizes novel genomes of coral-associated Prosthecochloris and a sulfate-reducing bacterium, revealing their genomic and metabolic traits and a potential syntrophic relationship in coral endolithic communities.

Aquatic microbial community is partially functionally redundant: insights from an in situ reciprocal transplant experiment

This study uses an in situ reciprocal transplant experiment to show that microbial communities in freshwater lakes show partial functional redundancy, with functions aligning to the incubating lake's profile.

FK506-binding protein 13 expression is upregulated in interstitial lung disease and correlated with clinical severity: a potentially protective role.

This study shows FKBP13 is upregulated in interstitial lung diseases and correlates with disease severity, suggesting a protective role against fibrosis.

Comparative genomics: Dominant coral bacterium Endozoicomonas acroporae metabolizes Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)

This study identifies and functionally characterizes DMSP metabolism in Endozoicomonas acroporae, confirming its role in the coral sulfur cycle.
