Symbiosis reshapes the metabolism of sulfate-reducing bacteria in gutless marine worms

Grace D’Angelo, Manuel Kleiner, Anna Mankowski, Jerónimo Cifuentes-Anticevic, Marlene J. Violette, Valerie De Anda, Marc Mußmann, Eileen Kröber, Nicole Dubilier, Manuel Liebeke

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.

Chemosynthetic Symbioses as Hidden Hubs of DMSP and Organosulfur Cycling in Marine Sediments

Eileen Kröber, Kristina Weinert, Anna Mankowski, Ibrahim Cem Ozsefil, Alba Porta-Fidalgo, Grace D’Angelo, Catherine C. Bannon, André Luiz de Oliveira, Hendrik Schäfer, Nicole Dubilier

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