Symbiotic microorganisms play an important role in the growth and development of marine invertebrates, such as the sea moon, affecting their metamorphosis process. The outbreak of jellyfish puts pressure on marine ecosystems and affects their stability. However, researches on the development of j...
The communities of marine bacteria that assemble around living microphytoplankton are predictably dominated by three taxonomic groups, each of which specializes in the use or transport of different components of the available metabolite pool: Rhodobacterales transport small and polar metabolites,...
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to mediate intercellular communication, virulence, and immune modulation. Here we show that bacteria can utilise EVs also as recyclable nutrient reservoirs. Using Bacillus cereus as a model organism, we demonstrate that EVs exhibit distin...
Neuropsychiatric conditions impose a substantial global burden, yet the contribution of microbiota–gut–brain communication to their biology remains difficult to interpret in humans. Metagenomic studies could help characterize microbial neuroactive potential, but such analyses remain constrained b...
