Holobiont–Holobiont Interactions: Redefining Host–Parasite Interactions
The term holobiont (Greek, from holos, whole; bios, life; -ont, to be; whole unit of life) describes a long-term physical association between different living organisms [1]. Theoretically, this definition encompasses all symbiotic associations (along the mutualism–parasitism continuum) spanning all taxa. However, in most cases, the term holobiont is restricted to the host and its associated mut...
متن کاملThe Holobiont/Hologenome Concept Series
Over the past 2 years, we have made a concerted effort to expand the number and scope of minireviews published in mBio in order to help readers keep track of developments across the breadth of microbiology. In our conversations exploring potential subjects for minireviews, a topic emerged—the holobiont/ hologenome concept—that was relevant to so many areas and of such high current interest that...
متن کاملEvolving as a holobiont
Some of the most exciting recent advances in biology have been in our understanding of how the microbiome—the community of bacteria, fungi, and other single-celled microorganisms— influences host functions and behaviors. From the way we eat, to the way we think, to our susceptibility to diseases (just to name a few), the microbiome has a huge impact on human physiology. But microbiomes aren’t j...
متن کاملThe Seagrass Holobiont and Its Microbiome
Seagrass meadows are ecologically and economically important components of many coastal areas worldwide. Ecosystem services provided by seagrasses include reducing the number of microbial pathogens in the water, providing food, shelter and nurseries for many species, and decreasing the impact of waves on the shorelines. A global assessment reported that 29% of the known areal extent of seagrass...
متن کاملGenerating viral metagenomes from the coral holobiont
Reef-building corals comprise multipartite symbioses where the cnidarian animal is host to an array of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, and the viruses that infect them. These viruses are critical elements of the coral holobiont, serving not only as agents of mortality, but also as potential vectors for lateral gene flow, and as elements encoding a variety of auxiliary metabolic functions....
