Tracking the cargo of extracellular symbionts into host tissues with correlated electron microscopy and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Extracellular bacterial symbionts communicate biochemically with their hosts to establish niches that foster the partnership. Using quantitative ion microprobe isotopic imaging (nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry [NanoSIMS]), we surveyed localizatio ...

Insights into flagellar function and mechanism from the squid-vibrio symbiosis

Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Flagella are essential and multifunctional nanomachines that not only move symbionts towards their tissue colonization site, but also play multiple roles in communicating with the host. Thus, untangling the activities of flagella in reaching, interacting, ...

Tracking the signaling cargo of extracellular symbionts into host tissues

Anders Meibom, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Animal-microbe symbioses are fundamental to animal physiology but the precise nature of molecular exchange between partners remains largely elusive. The mutualistic association between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes and its luminous bacteriu ...

Tracking the signaling cargo of extracellular symbionts into host tissues

Anders Meibom, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Animal-microbe symbioses are fundamental to animal physiology but how and where bacteria interact with their host, remain largely elusive. The mutualistic association between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes and its luminous bacterium Vibrio f ...

Temperature stress induces notochord abnormalities and heat shock proteins expression in larval green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris Ayres 1854)

The effects of thermal stress on survival, development and heat shock protein (hsp) expression of green sturgeon (GS) yolk-sac larvae, from hatching through yolk depletion were investigated to provide insight into effects of highly altered natural river hy ...

Nanoscale multifunctional sensor formed by a Ni nanotube and a scanning Nb nanoSQUID

Dirk Grundler, Daniel Rüffer, Eleonora Russo

Nanoscale magnets might form the building blocks of next generation memories. To explore their functionality, magnetic sensing at the nanoscale is key. We present a multifunctional combination of a nanometer-sized superconducting quantum interference devic ...

Chitin colonization, chitin degradation and chitin-induced natural competence of Vibrio cholerae are subject to catabolite repression

Melanie Blokesch

Although Vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen its primary habitat are aquatic environments. In this environment, V. cholerae takes advantage of the abundance of zooplankton, whose chitinous exoskeletons provide a nutritious surface. Chitin also induces the ...
