Genomic analyses of Symbiomonas scintillans show no evidence for endosymbiotic bacteria but does reveal the presence of giant viruses
Author summary Endosymbiotic bacteria are found in a wide variety of hosts across the tree of eukaryotes and have been proposed to be evolutionarily and ecologically significant, but in most cases, we know little to nothing about them.journals.plos.org

Distinct life cycle stages of an ectosymbiotic DPANN archaeon
Abstract. DPANN archaea are a diverse group of microorganisms that are thought to rely on an ectosymbiotic lifestyle; however, the cell biology of these ceGaisin, Vasil A (Oxford University Press)
The move from a free-living environment to an endosymbiotic relationship has profound effects on bacterial function.
This #PLOSBiology Unsolved Mystery from John P McCutcheon &co explores how bacterial endosymbionts work with so few genes. #symbiosis

"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."

Beyond pathogenesis: Detecting the full spectrum of ecological interactions in the virosphere
"Viral interactions with their hosts are complex and some non-pathogenic viruses could have potential benefits to society. However, viral research is seldom designed to identify viral mutualists, a gap that merits considering new experimental designs."

Conifer-killing bark beetles locate fungal symbionts by detecting volatile fungal metabolites of host tree resin monoterpenes
Outbreaks of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle have decimated millions of hectares of conifer forests in Europe in recent years.journals.plos.org
"Collectively, our data support a model where suppression of quorum-regulated virulence factors by Pf4 allows P. aeruginosa to evade detection by innate host immune responses."

Tripartite interactions between filamentous Pf4 bacteriophage, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and bacterivorous nematodes
Author summary Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that infects wounds, lungs, and medical hardware. P. aeruginosa strains are often themselves infected by a filamentous virus (phage) called Pf.journals.plos.org

Bacterial lifestyle switch in response to algal metabolites
Opportunistic bacteria modulate their lifestyle from coexistence to pathogenicity by perceiving the physiological state of their algal host through sensing of algal secreted metabolites.Noa Barak-Gavish (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd)
