Euprymna berryi as a comparative model host for Vibrio fischeri light organ symbiosis | Applied and Environmental Microbiology Microbiome studies have been substantially advanced by model systems that enable functional interrogation of the roles of the partners and the molecular communication between those partners. The Euprymna scolopes-Vibrio fischeri system has contributed ...

New paper comparing the light organ symbiosis in the hummingbird bobtail squid to the infamous Hawaiian bobtail squid.

Congrats to @markjmandel.bsky.social and crew, and thanks for letting me take some light organ images for the pub!
