Stability in flexibility: Shifting alliances stabilize the symbioses of marine animals over 150 million years

Many animals benefit from microbial symbionts that aid digestion, supply essential nutrients, or provide defense. When this dependence becomes obligate, as in gutless marine oligochaetes that have lost both digestive and excretory systems and rely entirely on their bacterial partners for nutrition and recycling of wast...

Animal degradation of microbial storage polyhydroxyalkanoates.

A wide range of microorganisms produce storage biopolymer polyhydroxyalkanoates (sPHAs) as carbon and energy reserves. However, only bacteria and fungi are known to degrade microbial sPHAs, using enzymes called polyhydroxyalkanoate depolymerases (PHADs). Here we show that some animals also have PHADs that can degrade s...
