"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."
Orchid's nutrient theft from fungi sheds light on photosynthesis-parasitism continuum
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.
postponsthis 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 !!!

Leaf beetles' evolutionary success linked to gene transfer and symbiosis https://phys.org/news/2025-01-leaf-beetles-evolutionary-success-linked.html
"Almost all #LeafBeetles have incorporated foreign genetic material into their genome, which is responsible for the production of #enzymes necessary to digest plant cell wall components... half of the species of leaf #beetles live in close association with symbiotic #bacteria. These #symbionts provide the beetles with important digestive enzymes, vitamins, and amino acids."
Leaf beetles' evolutionary success linked to gene transfer and symbiosis
With more than 50,000 described species, the leaf beetle family is distributed worldwide and represents about a quarter of the species diversity of all herbivores. Leaf beetles can be found to feed on almost all plant groups. They live in the rhizosphere, the canopy and even underwater.
#DeepSea corals are home to previously unknown #bacteria with extremely small genomes https://phys.org/news/2024-11-deep-sea-corals-home-previously.html paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-53855-5 #genomics
"the bacteria are the dominant #symbionts of these #corals and live in a gelatinous layer of tissue that forms part of their immune system and transports nutrients... These bacteria don't even carry genes for obtaining energy from carbohydrates... their only source of energy is the amino acid #arginine, provided by the #coral."
Deep-sea corals are home to previously unknown bacteria with extremely small genomes, scientists discover
A German-American research team has discovered two highly unusual bacterial species in the tissue of two deep-sea corals from the Gulf of Mexico. These previously unknown coral symbionts have an extremely reduced genome and lack the ability to obtain energy from carbohydrates, the team reports in an article published in the journal Nature Communications.
