Energy-harnessing problem solving of primordial life: Modeling the emergence of catalytic host-nested parasite life cycles
All life forms on earth ultimately descended from a primordial population dubbed the last universal common ancestor or LUCA via Darwinian evolution. Extant living systems share two salient functional features, a metabolism extracting and transforming energ ...
2023Intracellular competition for nitrogen controls dinoflagellate population density in corals
Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Maria-Evangelia Giovani
The density of dinoflagellate microalgae in the tissue of symbiotic corals is an important determinant for health and productivity of the coral animal. Yet, the specific mechanism for their regulation and the consequence for coral nutrition are insufficien ...
ROYAL SOC2020Genetic diversity of two Daphnia-infecting microsporidian parasites, based on sequence variation in the internal transcribed spacer region
Background: Microsporidia are spore-forming obligate intracellular parasites that include both emerging pathogens and economically important disease agents. However, little is known about the genetic diversity of microsporidia. Here, we investigated patter ...
