Microbial genome functions explain metabolite-driven dysbiosis and Pseudomonas-associated ammonium toxicity in Hydra

Natchapon Srinak, Tim Lachnit, Laura Ulrich, Sebastian Fraune, Christoph Kaleta, Jan Taubenheim

This study shows that specific metabolites can shift Hydra's microbiome composition and function, leading to ammonia toxicity and disease-like phenotypes.

Tim Lachnit, Laura Ulrich, Fiete M. Willmer, Tim P. Hasenbein, Leon X. Steiner, Maria Wolters, Eva M. Herbst, Peter Deines

The paper shows that diet-induced changes in the microbiota can cause dysbiosis and disease in Hydra, supporting the overfeeding hypothesis.
