Thanks to everyone for all these fruitful years of collaboration: @jillianmpetersen.bsky.social, @joanaseneca.bsky.social, Chuang Sun, Ornella Carrión and Jonathan D. Todd from UEA, Omaima Zaki, Olivier Gros, and Jay Osvatic.
We integrated field measurements, genomics, transcriptomics, and experimental assays to investigate organosulfur cycling in three lucinid species from temperate and tropical environments.
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.
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.
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.
We are looking for an enthusiastic scientist to work with me on exciting microbiome research. If you’re curious, motivated, and ready to explore microbial sulfur and nitrogen metabolism, take a look and apply!
