Otjacques E, Paula J, Ruby E, Xavier J, McFall-Ngai M, Rosa R, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Nov; PMID: 39553969
Cephalopods play a central ecological role across all oceans and realms. However, under the current climate crisis, their physiology and behaviour are impacted, and we are beginning to comprehend the...

Essock-Burns T, Bennett B, Arencibia D, Moriano-Gutierrez S, Medeiros M, McFall-Ngai M, et al.
mBio . 2021 Sep; 12(5):e0240221. PMID: 34579565
Microbes colonize the apical surfaces of polarized epithelia in nearly all animal taxa. In one example, the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri enters, grows to a dense population within, and persists...

Weis V, Montgomery M, McFall-Ngai M
Biol Bull . 2018 Jan; 184(3):309-321. PMID: 29300544
We localized one or more aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-like proteins in the bacterially bioluminescent light organ of the sepiolid squid Euprymna scolopes, and determined the temporal changes in expression through normal...

Doino J, McFall-Ngai M
Biol Bull . 2017 Dec; 189(3):347-355. PMID: 29244576
Recent studies of the symbiotic association between the Hawaiian sepiolid squid Euprymna scolopes and the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri have shown that colonization of juvenile squid with symbiosis-competent bacteria induces...

Nikolakakis K, Lehnert E, McFall-Ngai M, Ruby E
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2015 May; 81(14):4728-35. PMID: 25956763
The establishment of a productive symbiosis between Euprymna scolopes, the Hawaiian bobtail squid, and its luminous bacterial symbiont, Vibrio fischeri, is mediated by transcriptional changes in both partners. A key...

McFall-Ngai M
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol . 2001 Jul; 129(4):711-23. PMID: 11435126
The possible involvement of symbioses in the evolution of multicellularity is explored. Evidence is drawn principally from the biology of present day associations of plants and animals with prokaryotes. A...

McFall-Ngai M, Ruby E
Curr Opin Microbiol . 2000 Dec; 3(6):603-7. PMID: 11121780
Associations between marine invertebrates and their cooperative bacterial symbionts offer access to an understanding of the roots of host-microbe interaction; for example, several symbioses like the squid-vibrio light organ association...

Foster J, Apicella M, McFall-Ngai M
Dev Biol . 2000 Oct; 226(2):242-54. PMID: 11023684
During initiation of the association between the squid host Euprymna scolopes and its bacterial partner Vibrio fischeri, the bacteria induce dramatic morphogenesis of the host symbiotic organ, a portion of...

McFall-Ngai M
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol . 2000 Sep; 126(4):471-80. PMID: 10989339
A shared characteristic among animals is their propensity to form stable, beneficial relationships with prokaryotes. Usually these associations occur in the form of consortia, i.e. a diverse assemblage of bacteria...
