Congratulations to Gabriela F. Paredes, Tobias Viehböck, Stephanie Markert, Michaela A. Mausz, Yui Sato, Manuel Liebeke, Lena König & Silvia Bulgheresi on their new publication in Nature Scientific Reports:
Differential regulation of degradation and immune pathways underlies adaptation of the ectosymbiotic nematode Laxus oneistus to oxic-anoxic interfaces
Comparative transcriptomics and proteomics of the marine nematode _Laxus oneistus _suggests that, whenexperiencing anoxic sulfidic conditions, it rewires the electron transfer chain, upregulates degradation pathways and reinforces its characteristic coat of symbiotic sulfur-oxidising bacteria. In the presence of oxygen, instead it engages in energetically demanding processes suchas development, molting, and upregulates the expression of Toll receptors and of broadband antibiotics
