Metabolism of the symbiotic jellyfish Cassiopea in a changing environment
Ocean warming and other anthropogenic impacts have led to a global decline in many photosymbiotic cnidarians, most notably reef-building corals. But some species of the symbiotic and (sub-)tropical upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea are increasingly reported ...
EPFL2023Symbiotic nutrient exchange enhances the long-term survival of cassiosomes, the autonomous stinging-cell structures of Cassiopea
Anders Meibom, Cristina Martin Olmos, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi, Gaëlle Delphine Toullec, Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby
Medusae of the widely distributed upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea release autonomous, mobile stinging structures. These so-called cassiosomes play a role in predator defense and prey capture, and are major contributors to “contactless” stinging incidents i ...
2023Metabolic influence of core ciliates within the rumen microbiome
Protozoa comprise a major fraction of the microbial biomass in the rumen microbiome, of which the entodiniomorphs (order: Entodiniomorphida) and holotrichs (order: Vestibuliferida) are consistently observed to be dominant across a diverse genetic and geogr ...
2023High light quantity suppresses locomotion in symbiotic Aiptasia
Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz
Many cnidarians engage in endosymbioses with microalgae of the family Symbiodiniaceae. In this association, the fitness of the cnidarian host is closely linked to the photosynthetic performance of its microalgal symbionts. Phototaxis may enable semi-sessil ...
2022Bioluminescent compositions and uses thereof
Elena Goun, Pavlo Khodakivskyi, Hacer Karatas, Aleksey Yevtodiyenko
Compositions and methods for non-invasively monitoring the intracellular processing of a biomolecule are provided. The compositions have a novel thio-luciferin moiety which can be conjugated to the biomolecule directly or via a linker such as disulfide bon ...
