🌍🧽 The Aquatic Symbiosis Project, @utehentschel.bsky.social and @sangerinstitute.bsky.social are cranking out high-quality genome assemblies at record speed—setting the stage to answer remarkable questions about marine symbioses. 🌊🧬 👉 Blog: bit.ly/3INcrOA 📸 2 Elephant ear sponge: B. Mueller

🌊 The mid-latitude marine heatwaves now pushing 4–5°C above normal in many regions. This isn’t seasonal warming; it’s a climate alarm bell. Ecosystems are under stress.

A month-long summer sea temperature anomaly of +2C is enough to kill most coral species on the Great Barrier Reef. +8C in the Mediterranean will devastate marine ecosystems.

Corals maintain stable populations of essential photosynthetic symbionts by controlling their cell cycle, not by eating them! Our new #PNAS paper monitored and modelled #aiptasia cell cycle, autophagy, and expulsion for over a year. #symbiosis #microbiology www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Cell cycle arrest in the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis.

Check out our dispatch on apicomplexans that infect corals! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... These parasite-like partners have lost photosynthesis but retained chlorophyll... are they friend or foe? @currentbiology.bsky.social #protistsonsky #symbiosky #microsky #coralreefs

Our newest research in @nature.com We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📹 @sasaspacal.bsky.social

Happy to see a large chunk of my PhD work published today in Cell Host&Microbe: www.cell.com/cell-host-mi... We conducted fluorescence-activated single-cell sorting of active predatory protists in the ocean and recovered symbionts with cool evolutionary positions close to animal pathogens.

It's a cyanobacteria on the outside, fungus on the inside. Well, sort of. The fungus lives in the extracellular sheath produced by the Cyanobacteria, and therefore are not really true endophytes. But the cyanos do create the external structure.
