Host lipids regulate multicellular behavior of a predator of a human pathogen

R. Q. Kidner, E. B. Goldstone, M. R. Laidemitt, M. C. Sanchez, C. Gerdt, L. P. Brokaw, N. Ros-Rocher, J. Morris, W. S. Davidson, J. P. Gerdt

The paper identifies a host-derived phosphatidylcholine that induces multicellular aggregation in Capsaspora owczarzaki, suggesting a link between host physiology and symbiont behavior.

Chemical factors induce aggregative multicellularity in a close unicellular relative of animals

N. Ros-Rocher, R. Q. Kidner, C. T. Gerdt, W. S. Davidson, I. Ruiz-Trillo, J. P. Gerdt

The paper shows that chemical cues induce reversible multicellularity in Capsaspora owczarzaki, a unicellular relative of animals, suggesting this mechanism was present in ancestral unicellular life.
