It turns out this symbiotic bacterium highly expresses a horizontally acquired NRPS operon, that results in production of a small molecule with antifungal properties. (3/3) (the whole story is a bit more complicated): pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Very excited to share the results of my second dissertation chapter - on the molecular mechanism of antifungal defense conferred by the aphid endosymbiont, Fukatsuia symbiotica! (2/3)

How do insects fend off fungal pathogens, like cordyceps? Some aphids partner with symbiotic bacteria that provide protective effects, although how this actually works has been largely unknown... (1/3)

Fun collaboration with Diana Percy and Patrick Degnan showing rapid loss (<1M) of nutritional symbionts in Hawaiian psyllids is associated with galling behavior. All psyllids (free-living, open gall, closed gall) radiated on the same host plant species over ~5MY.
Antoine Guiguet@AntoineGuiguet

The galls are so nutritious that psyllids that transitioned to galling have lost their nutritional symbionts ! 🤯academic.oup.com/mbe/article/do…

Axenic cultivation of vertically transmitted bacteria is pretty uncommon… These results have some fun implications for what experimental approaches can be applied that haven’t been possible in this system until now!

Fun! I think these are the lines that I’ve taken in Austin: 1 3 5 7 10 19 (RIP) 20 30 (before/after it fused with 19) 661 670 671 672 801 803 Red Line You can probably guess what parts of town I’ve lived in 😅

Grateful for the opportunity to write this review with Professor Nancy Moran about the current knowledge on the honeybee gut microbiota! Check it out in @NatureRevMicro: go.nature.com/3TbBY7s #Microbiome #HoneybeeHealth
Nature Reviews Microbiology@NatureRevMicro

🐝 The honeybee microbiota and its impact on health and disease go.nature.com/3TbBY7s Motta and Moran discuss how the gut microbiota influences honeybee biology and health, and explore environmental factors that can disrupt it and strategies for restoration. @ErickMotta19
