Metabolic exchanges, regulation and equilibrium of an ancient insect symbiosis

Background. The long-standing symbiosis between the grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis and its bacterial endosymbiont, Shikimatogenerans silvanidophilus is a notable example of nutritional symbiosis, where the bacterium provides metabolites that are vital for the insect's fitness. Read more

Sensing the unseen: How diatoms detect and respond to highly dilute sex-inducing pheromones

Background. Diatoms are abundant unicellular microalgae that contribute approximately 20% of global photosynthetic CO₂ fixation. Despite their vital role in regulating Earth’s climate, fundamental aspects of their biology, such as sexual reproduction, remain poorly understood. Read more

Structural basis of two-component system signaling

Background. As bacteria explore new habitats, go to war with competitors or collaborate against common enemies, they rely heavily on intra- and interspecies communication and precise molecular scouting of their environment. Read more

Molecular mechanisms of membrane proteins underlying social insect behavior

Background. The ecological success of social insects (e.g., bees, ants) relies on their complex cooperative behavior (e.g., brood care, division of labour) but the chemical and molecular bases of most of these behaviors remain largely unexplored. Read more
