Microbiota Succession Influences Nematode Physiology in a Beetle Microcosm Ecosystem

Z. Han, R. J. Sommer, W.-S. Lo

This study shows nematodes influence microbial succession in beetle grub decay by selecting high-nutrition microbes, which in turn affects nematode metabolism and dauer larva formation.

Host-associated microbe PCR (hamPCR): accessing new biology through convenient measurement of both microbial load and community composition

D. S. Lundberg, P. Pramoj Na Ayutthaya, A. Strauss, G. Shirsekar, W.-S. Lo, T. Lahaye, D. Weigel

The paper introduces hamPCR, a method to measure microbial load and community composition from amplicon sequencing, demonstrating its accuracy and scalability across different host-microbe systems.

Bacterial derived vitamin B12 enhances predatory behaviors in nematodes

N. Akduman, J. W. Lightfoot, W. Roeseler, H. Witte, W.-S. Lo, C. Roedelsperger, R. J. Sommer

This study shows that bacterial vitamin B12 enhances predatory behaviors in nematodes, specifically surplus-killing, through metabolic and transcriptional changes.
