The paper uses spatial lipidomics to analyze the lipid profile of a parasitic bacterium in its native host tissue, revealing unique fatty acid adaptations.

This study identifies metabolic adaptations in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that enable their persistence in symbiosis with gutless marine worms, revealing a conserved core metabolism distinct from free-living relatives.

This study identifies DMSP and DMS cycling as integral to the metabolism of gutless oligochaete symbioses, revealing widespread organosulfur metabolism across species.

The paper studies Rickettsiales microbiomes in placozoans to reveal evolutionary shifts towards mutualism, finding some symbionts have lost parasitic traits.

The paper investigates carbon fixation efficiency in sulfur-oxidizing symbionts using single-cell analyses and metabolic modeling, finding that stored sulfur and polyhydroxyalkanoate contribute to energy and reducing equivalents for carbon fixation.

This study examines genetic diversity in the marine annelid Olavius algarvensis, revealing microgeographic and glacial influences on population structure across multiple spatial scales.

The paper compares toxin-related genes in symbionts of deep-sea mussels and sponges to understand their evolutionary origins and functional roles.

The paper identifies two intracellular bacteria in Trichoplax H2, showing they live in symbiosis with the host and have distinct metabolic roles.

The paper introduces metaFISH, a spatial metabolomics pipeline that links host and microbial metabolites in situ, revealing metabolic adaptations and novel symbiosis metabolites in deep-sea mussels.
