Advanced genetic techniques and #microscopy offer new insights into anaerobic ciliate and methanogen #symbiosis https://phys.org/news/2024-10-advanced-genetic-techniques-microscopy-insights.html

Methanogenic #symbionts of anaerobic #ciliates are host and habitat specific https://academic.oup.com/ismej/article/18/1/wrae164/7737421 #ISEPpapers by @joro

"This study provides a clearer understanding of how anaerobic ciliates have evolved a mix transmission mode to both maintain and replace their symbionts over time"

#Mutualism on the edge: Understanding the #Paramecium–#Chlorella symbiosis https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.3002563

"Exploring the mechanisms that underpin #symbiosis requires an understanding of how these complex interactions are maintained in diverse model systems. The ciliate #protist, Paramecium bursaria, offers a valuable insight into how emergent endosymbiotic interactions have evolved."

Are you curious about purple photosymbioses? Sebastian Hess and I have written a Quick Guide for Current Biology where we summarize our current knowledge on these very rare symbioses. Free access here: https://t.co/9uHTmhhIzm
