The paper uses spatial lipidomics to analyze the lipid profile of a parasitic bacterium in its native host tissue, revealing unique fatty acid adaptations.

This study identifies metabolic adaptations in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that enable their persistence in symbiosis with gutless marine worms, revealing a conserved core metabolism distinct from free-living relatives.

This study identifies DMSP and DMS cycling as integral to the metabolism of gutless oligochaete symbioses, revealing widespread organosulfur metabolism across species.

The paper studies Rickettsiales microbiomes in placozoans to reveal evolutionary shifts towards mutualism, finding some symbionts have lost parasitic traits.
