We performed a reciprocal transplant of eelgrass and examined the microbial community on the surfaces of leaves and roots of plants. This allowed us to determine effects of environment vs. host on mic
This study investigates the bacterial composition of Oak trees in Wytham Woods, UK and compares microbial community characteristics with host-associated traits.
Wolbachia pipientis is an intracellular alphaproteobacterium that infects 40-60% of insect species and is well known for host reproductive manipulations. Although Wolbachia are primarily maternally tr
Ulcerative colitis (UC) develops through a complicated interaction between the host and microbiota. Intestinal fibroblasts are suggested to play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of UC. However, the i
