Cooperative host-microbe metabolism of a plant toxin in bees

E. Motta, A. Gage, T. E. Smith, K. J. Blake, W. K. Kwong, I. M. Riddington, N. Moran

This study shows that bees and their gut microbiota cooperatively metabolize amygdalin, a plant toxin, with microbiota facilitating full degradation into hydrogen cyanide.

Highly reduced genomes of protist endosymbionts show evolutionary convergence

E. E. George, F. Husnik, D. Tashyreva, G. Prokopchuk, A. Horak, W. K. Kwong, J. Lukes, P. J. Keeling

The paper sequenced genomes of bacterial endosymbionts in diplonemid protists, revealing convergent genome reduction and functional adaptations across different host lineages.
