Excited to share our first paper on the symbiosis between chlamydiae and social amoebae showing in detail the adaptations of endosymbionts to the social life style of their host! 🎉

Happy to be in the GRC Animal-microbiome symbiosis sharing my transcriptomic photosymbiosis work. I learned a lot from amazing colleagues and really interesting research. Looking forward to have more discussion! Visit my poster Wednesday #16. #GRC #GRS #photosymbiosis

With science based solutions and collaboration, it's still possible to help coral reefs. Ocean day has to be hope for all of us, especially for researchers in the marine field...please do not forget that!

Check out our dispatch on apicomplexans that infect corals!

These parasite-like partners have lost photosynthesis but retained chlorophyll... are they friend or foe?

Microscopy images showing host cell nuclei in blue, signals corresponding to bacterial symbionts in red. A sketch of the host anatomy shows the location of the microscopy images.

It’s true, you only see what you’re looking for: After decades studying chemosynthetic symbionts in clam gills, we realized they colonize the digestive tract too 😱
