Adaptation to free-living drives loss of beneficial endosymbiosis through metabolic trade-offs

Erika M. Hansson, Irma Vitonytė, Guy Leonard, Rachel Smith, Daniel Malumphy-Montesdeoca, Fiona R. Savory, Perdita E. Barran, Luke T. Dunning, Jon Slate, Thomas A. Richards, Andrew P. Beckerman, Duncan Drummond Cameron, Michael A. Brockhurst

The paper shows that adaptation to free-living conditions in algal endosymbionts leads to loss of host benefits, driven by metabolic trade-offs, with nitrogen availability as a key factor.

Intracellular niche specialisation drives evolutionary entrapment of endosymbiotic algae

Irma Vitonytė, Erika M. Hansson, Daniel Malumphy-Montesdeoca, Guy Leonard, Fiona R. Savory, Luke T. Dunning, Thomas A. Richards, Andrew P. Beckerman, Duncan Drummond Cameron, Michael A. Brockhurst

This study shows that endosymbiotic algae evolve traits specialized for intracellular niches, reducing their fitness in extracellular environments, thereby stabilizing endosymbiosis through evolutionary entrapment.
