Membrane vesicles can contribute to cellulose degradation by Teredinibacter turnerae, a cultivable intracellular endosymbiont of shipworms

M. T. Gasser, A. Liu, M. A. Altamia, B. Bresinger, S. L. Brewer, R. Flatau, E. Hancock, S. P. Preheim, C. M. Filone, D. L. Distel

This study shows that Teredinibacter turnerae produces membrane vesicles containing cellulolytic enzymes, which may aid in lignocellulose degradation and host-symbiont interactions.

A conserved biosynthetic gene cluster is regulated by quorum sensing in a shipworm symbiont

J. M. D. Robes, M. A. Altamia, E. G. Murdock, G. P. Concepcion, M. G. Haygood, A. W. Puri

This paper identifies a quorum sensing system in a shipworm symbiont that regulates a conserved biosynthetic gene cluster involved in secondary metabolism.

Secondary metabolism in the gill microbiota of shipworms (Teredinidae) as revealed by comparison of metagenomes and nearly complete symbiont genomes

M. A. Altamia, Z. Lin, A. E. Trindade-Silva, I. D. Uy, J. R. Shipway, D. Veras Wilke, G. P. Concepcion, D. L. Distel, E. W. Schmidt, M. G. Haygood

This study identifies secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways in shipworm symbionts using metagenomes and cultured genomes, showing many novel pathways and predictable host-symbiont co-occurrence patterns.
