@organosulfur.bsky.socialThanks to everyone for all these fruitful years of collaboration: @jillianmpetersen.bsky.social, @joanaseneca.bsky.social, Chuang Sun, Ornella Carrión and Jonathan D. Todd from UEA, Omaima Zaki, Olivier Gros, and Jay Osvatic.
Show PostWe integrated field measurements, genomics, transcriptomics, and experimental assays to investigate organosulfur cycling in three lucinid species from temperate and tropical environments.
Show PostWe identified previously unrecognised microbial partner in lucinid symbioses (Endozoicomonas) and describe potential metabolic interactions with both the host and the sulphur-oxidising symbionts, highlighting the capacity of these widespread associations to influence global organosulfur cycling.
Show PostGenomic prediction of collaborative DMSP degradation is consistent with live incubations of the holobiont. The addition of antibiotics results in higher DMSP concentrations. Symbionts may cooperate to degrade excess DMSP, potentially protecting the host from pathogenic bacteria.
