Abstract Background The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is one of the main cultivated invertebrate species worldwide. Since 2008, juveniles have been confronted with a lethal syndrome known as Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS). POMS polymicrobial disease initiated by primary infection herpesvirus OsHV-1 µVar that creates an immunocompromised state and evolves towards secondary fatal bacteremia. Results In present article, we describe implementation unprecedented combination metabarcoding metatranscriptomic approaches to show sequence events in pathogenesis conserved across infectious environments. We also identified core bacterial consortium which, together µVar, forms pathobiota. This characterized high transcriptional activities complementary metabolic functions exploit host’s resources. A significant specificity was highlighted at genus level, suggesting low competition for nutrients between members bacteria.

Honey bees are model organisms for microbiota research. Gut microbiomes very interesting surveys due to their simple structure and relationship with hive production. Long-term studies reveal the gut patterns of various members, as well functions, sources, interactions majority its bacteria. But fungal non-pathogenic part is almost unexplored, likewise some other related microbiota. bees, superorganisms, interact own microorganisms, microbial communities food stores, surfaces, environments. Understanding diversity, transition ways, niche colonization control necessary understanding any separate because interplay. The long coevolution microorganisms populating these niches makes systems co-dependent, integrated, stable.

Most predictive models of ecosystem dynamics are based on interactions between organisms: their influence each other’s growth and death. We review here how theoretical approaches used to extract interaction measurements from experimental data in microbiology, particularly focusing the generalised Lotka–Volterra (gLV) framework. Though widely used, we argue that gLV model should be avoided for estimating batch culture — most common, simplest cheapest vitro approach culturing microbes. Fortunately, alternative offer a way out this conundrum. Firstly, side, alternatives such as serial-transfer chemostat systems more closely match assumptions model. Secondly, explicit organism-environment can study batch-culture systems. hope our recommendations will increase tractability microbial experimentalists theoreticians alike.

Abstract Members of microbial communities can substantially overlap in substrate use. However, what enables functionally redundant microorganisms to coassemble or even stably coexist remains poorly understood. Here, we show that during unstable successional dynamics on complex, natural organic matter, bacteria by partitioning low-concentration substrates though they compete for one simple, dominant substrate. We allowed ocean self-assemble leachates the brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus and then analyzed competition among 10 taxonomically diverse isolates representing two distinct stages succession. All, but isolates, exhibited an average 90% ± 6% pairwise resource use, functional redundancy from same assembly stage was higher than between stages, leading us construct a simpler four-isolate community with each early late stages. found that, although short-term F. leachate dependent initial isolate ratios, long term, four leachate, albeit some strains at low abundance. therefore explored potential nonredundant use genomic content analysis RNA expression patterns. This revealed mainly differed peripheral metabolic pathways, such as ability degrade pyrimidine, leucine, tyrosine, well aromatic substrates.

The honeybee gut microbiome is crucial for degrading diverse pollen glycans. Yet it unclear how this process shapes the interactions among bacteria. Here, we demonstrate a conditional mutualistic interaction between strains of two bacteria Bifidobacterium asteroides and Gilliamella apicola. When co-occurring in vitro vivo, provides complementary demethylation service to promote growth on methylated homogalacturonan, an enriched polysaccharide pectin. In exchange, shares digestive products with Bifidobacterium, through which positive established. This vanishes when not required non-methylated diet. Results from biochemical gene expression analyses combined model simulation further suggest that ratio change major homogalacturonan breakdown products, galacturonic acid (GalA) di-GalA, determines bacterial interaction. study unravels glycan metabolism may shape Microbial honey bee are incompletely understood. authors report reciprocal core genera: aids pectin backbone enabling its by Gilliamella; return, digestion products.
