New #ISEPpapers by Anna Karnkowska et al.! Living together: evolutionary and ecological dimensions of #protist endosymbiosis https://academic.oup.com/microlife/article/doi/10.1093/femsml/uqag013/8607828
"Despite advances, key questions remain: How widespread and ecologically impactful are protist endosymbioses? What functions do #symbionts provide, and how do associations form, persist, or break down?"
🦠 New #symbionts in #wastewater: #denitrifying #protist #endosymbionts are found in #sewage plants all over the world. One common species releases #nitrousoxide.

Orchid's nutrient theft from #fungi sheds light on photosynthesis-parasitism continuum https://phys.org/news/2025-02-orchid-nutrient-theft-fungi-photosynthesis.html paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tpj.70045
"When the #orchid Oreorchis patens happens to grow close to rotten wood, it shifts its fungal #symbionts to those that decompose the wood and significantly increases the amount of nutrients it takes from them—without ceasing to employ photosynthesis. As a result, the #plants are bigger and produce more #flowers."
Most orchids live in a symbiotic relationship with fungi in their roots: The plants provide sugar they produce through photosynthesis and in return receive water and minerals from the fungi. However, some orchids have stopped producing their own food and completely feed on fungi.
this is the trailer for « sunken », coming out soon - a handcrafted underwater refuge on the web, where you soon will all be welcome to dive!

soon « sunken » is out — a project rasmus, simon and i worked on for a looong time — it’s an « immersive poetic point-and-click » — born out of the research « scenography as a host », exploring parasitic and symbiotic interactions with scenography — a virtual altar inhabited by spiky sea urchins and soft sponges — releasing the trailer tomorrow — stay put !!!
