Predation-resistant Pseudomonas bacteria engage in symbiont-like behavior with the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum

M. I. Steele, J. M. Peiser, P. M. Shreenidhi, J. E. Strassmann, D. C. Queller

The paper investigates predation-resistant Pseudomonas strains and their interactions with Dictyostelium discoideum, finding that some cause extracellular infections and suppress predation of other bacteria.

Resource-combining costs of being a diet generalist in the super-generalist protist predator Dictyostelium discoideum

P. M. Shreenidhi, D. A. Brock, R. I. McCabe, J. E. Strassmann, D. C. Queller

This study investigates resource-switching and resource-mixing costs in the protist predator Dictyostelium discoideum, showing growth rate reductions when switching or mixing bacterial prey.

Symbiotic bacteria, immune-like sentinel cells, and the response to pathogens in a social amoeba

T. J. Scott, T. J. Larsen, D. A. Brock, S. Y. S. Uhm, D. C. Queller, J. E. Strassmann

This study examines how Paraburkholderia endosymbionts affect sentinel cell function in D. discoideum, revealing both immune suppression and toxin protection effects.

Complex third-party effects in the Dictyostelium-Paraburkholderia symbiosis: prey bacteria that are eaten, carried, or left behind

T. J. Scott, D. C. Queller, J. E. Strassmann

The paper investigates how Dictyostelium hosts interact with prey bacteria in the presence of Paraburkholderia symbionts, finding that hosts leave behind both symbionts and prey bacteria, but uneaten prey bacteria do not fully explain reduced spore production.

Loss of altruism in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is associated with the G protein-coupled receptor grlG

L. M. Walker, R. N. Sherpa, S. Ivaturi, D. A. Brock, J. R. Walker, J. E. Strassmann, D. C. Queller

The paper identifies genomic changes in Dictyostelium discoideum that correlate with the loss of cooperation and altruism, highlighting the role of the grlG gene.

Comparative genomics support reduced-genome Paraburkholderia symbionts of Dictyostelium discoideum amoebas are ancestrally adapted professional symbionts

S. Noh, B. J. Capodanno, S. Xu, M. C. Hamilton, J. E. Strassmann, D. C. Queller

The paper compares genomes of Paraburkholderia symbionts of Dictyostelium discoideum to identify adaptations supporting their role as professional symbionts.

Context-dependence in the symbiosis between Dictyostelium discoideum and Paraburkholderia

T. J. Scott, D. C. Queller, J. E. Strassmann

This study shows how food context affects the Dictyostelium-Paraburkholderia symbiosis, with benefits for both partners in harsh environments.

Novel Chlamydiae and Amoebophilus endosymbionts are prevalent in wild isolates of the model social amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum

T. S. Haselkorn, D. Jimenez, U. Bashir, E. Sallinger, D. C. Queller, J. E. Strassmann, S. DiSalvo

The paper screens wild isolates of Dictyostelium discoideum for bacterial endosymbionts, finding Chlamydiae and Amoebophilus in 42% and 8% of isolates, respectively, with no significant fitness impact.
