Hydrothermal interactions in energy walls

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Jacopo Zannin

Energy geostructures (EGs) employ heat exchangers embedded in concrete geostructures, such as piles, walls, tunnels, and sewers. In this study, energy walls (EWs) are studied with an emphasis on the following objectives: (1) to understand the fundamentals ...

Sub-cellular imaging shows reduced photosynthetic carbon and increased nitrogen assimilation by the non-native endosymbiontDurusdinium trenchiiin the model cnidarian Aiptasia

Anders Meibom

Hosting different symbiont species can affect inter-partner nutritional fluxes within the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis. Using nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS), we measured the spatial incorporation of photosynthetically fixed(13)C ...

Tracking the cargo of extracellular symbionts into host tissues with correlated electron microscopy and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen

Extracellular bacterial symbionts communicate biochemically with their hosts to establish niches that foster the partnership. Using quantitative ion microprobe isotopic imaging (nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry [NanoSIMS]), we surveyed localizatio ...

Intracellular competition for nitrogen controls dinoflagellate population density in corals

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Maria-Evangelia Giovani

The density of dinoflagellate microalgae in the tissue of symbiotic corals is an important determinant for health and productivity of the coral animal. Yet, the specific mechanism for their regulation and the consequence for coral nutrition are insufficien ...

Growing Ungrowable Bacteria: Overview and Perspectives on Insect Symbiont Culturability

Bruno Lemaitre, Florent François Masson

Insects are often involved in endosymbiosis, that is, the housing of symbiotic microbes within their tissues or within their cells. Endosymbionts are a major driving force in insects' evolution, because they dramatically affect their host physiology and al ...

Transformation of the Drosophila Sex-Manipulative Endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii and Persisting Hurdles for Functional Genetic Studies

Bruno Lemaitre, Chloé Christiane Laurence Jollivet, Florent François Masson

Insects are frequently infected by bacterial symbionts that greatly affect their physiology and ecology. Most of these endosymbionts are, however, barely tractable outside their native host, rendering functional genetics studies difficult or impossible. Sp ...

A method to disentangle and quantify host anabolic turnover in photosymbiotic holobionts with subcellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Emma Mary Gibbin, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi, Arnaud Comment, Maoz Fine

A wide range of organisms host photosynthesizing symbionts. In these animals the metabolic exchange between host and symbionts has prevented in situ host anabolic turnover to be studied without the confounding effect of translocated photosynthates. Using t ...

Ammonium is the preferred source of nitrogen for planktonic foraminifer and their dinoflagellate symbionts

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

The symbiotic planktonic foraminiferaOrbulina universainhabits open ocean oligotrophic ecosystems where dissolved nutrients are scarce and often limit biological productivity. It has previously been proposed thatO. universameets its nitrogen (N) requiremen ...

Co-culture of microalgae-activated sludge for wastewater treatment and biomass production: Exploring their role under different inoculation ratios

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

In this study, mixed culture (microalgae:activated sludge) of a photobioreactor (PBR) were investigated at different inoculation ratios (1:0, 9:1, 3:1, 1:1, 0:1 wt/wt). This work was not only to determine the optimal ratio for pollutant remediation and bio ...
