Hiding in plain sight: Animals eat the natural bioplastic PHA We discovered that many animals can break down PHA. And many of these enzymes had been sitting unnoticed in genome databases. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Animal degradation of microbial storage polyhydroxyalkanoates - Nature Ecology & Evolution

This study shows that the degradation of microbial storage polyhydroxyalkanoates is not just restricted to microorganisms by finding that some animals also have the enzymes required to break down thes...

An interesting breakdown of the cost to produce each article by @embo.org and @embopress.org . Your APC makes scientific societies possible. www.embo.org/features/the...

The publishing costs at EMBO – Features – EMBO

EMBO and EMBO Press are making their journals’ finances public to provide transparency and clarity about what it costs to publish articles in high quality, selective journals.

I'd rather have those 3k go to a society journal than a for-profit, but how is it that in microbiology our society journals cost me 3,060$ to publish while chemists pay nothing to publish in any of their ACS journals!?

We integrated field measurements, genomics, transcriptomics, and experimental assays to investigate organosulfur cycling in three lucinid species from temperate and tropical environments.

Marta Lidia Sudo@martasu.bsky.social · 8mo ago

We identified previously unrecognised microbial partner in lucinid symbioses (Endozoicomonas) and describe potential metabolic interactions with both the host and the sulphur-oxidising symbionts, highlighting the capacity of these widespread associations to influence global organosulfur cycling.

Marta Lidia Sudo@martasu.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Genomic prediction of collaborative DMSP degradation is consistent with live incubations of the holobiont. The addition of antibiotics results in higher DMSP concentrations. Symbionts may cooperate to degrade excess DMSP, potentially protecting the host from pathogenic bacteria.

Marta Lidia Sudo@martasu.bsky.social · 8mo ago

It’s exciting to see converging evidence across systems! 😀 Alongside the new work on gutless worms, our study shows that organosulfur cycling is also essential in lucinid holobionts. Lucinid host provides DMSP to its symbionts, sulphur-oxidising Thiodiazotropha and, a new member, Endozoicomonas.

New preprint! We explore how gutless marine worms and their bacterial symbionts use organosulfur compounds like DMSP and DMS - key molecules in marine sulfur cycling. Our results show that these compounds support carbon and energy metabolism in the Olavius algarvensis symbiosis.
