Transitioning to confined spaces impacts bacterial swimming and escape response

J. B. Lynch, N. James, M. McFall-Ngai, E. G. Ruby, S. Shin, D. Takagi

This study shows that V. fischeri alters its swimming behavior in confined spaces, escaping through reduced directional fluctuation and a refractory period between reversals.

The Trichoplax microbiome: the simplest animal lives in an intimate symbiosis with two intracellular bacteria

H. R. Gruber-Vodicka, N. Leisch, M. Kleiner, T. Hinzke, M. Liebeke, M. McFall-Ngai, M. G. Hadfield, N. Dubilier

The paper identifies two intracellular bacteria in Trichoplax H2, showing they live in symbiosis with the host and have distinct metabolic roles.
