Kaneko M, Omori T, Igai K, Mabuchi T, Sakai-Tazawa M, Nishihara A, et al.
ISME Commun . 2024 Jul; 4(1):ycae097. PMID: 39081362
Anaerobic protists frequently harbour methanogenic archaea, which apparently contribute to the hosts' fermentative metabolism by consuming excess H. However, the ecological properties of endosymbiotic methanogens remain elusive in many cases....

Inagaki T, Igai K, Takahashi K, Hongoh Y
R Soc Open Sci . 2024 May; 11(5):231527. PMID: 38716332
The fidelity of vertical transmission is a critical factor in maintaining mutualistic associations with microorganisms. The obligate mutualism between termites and intestinal protist communities has been maintained for over 130...

Takahashi K, Kuwahara H, Horikawa Y, Izawa K, Kato D, Inagaki T, et al.
ISME J . 2023 Aug; 17(11):1895-1906. PMID: 37653056
The Clostridia is a dominant bacterial class in the guts of various animals and are considered to nutritionally contribute to the animal host. Here, we discovered clostridial endosymbionts of cellulolytic...

Thompson J, Barr C, Babcock-Adams L, Bird L, La Cava E, Garber A, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2023 Jul; 14:1179857. PMID: 37520355
The terrestrial serpentinite-hosted ecosystem known as "The Cedars" is home to a diverse microbial community persisting under highly alkaline (pH ~ 12) and reducing (Eh < -550 mV) conditions. This...

Aoki H, Masahiro Y, Shimizu M, Hongoh Y, Ohkuma M, Yamagata Y
Sci Rep . 2022 Oct; 12(1):17014. PMID: 36257967
A novel type of agarose gel microcapsule (AGM), consisting of an alginate picolitre sol core and an agarose gel shell, was developed to obtain high-quality, single-cell, amplified genomic DNA of...

Kinjo Y, Bourguignon T, Hongoh Y, Lo N, Tokuda G, Ohkuma M
Microbiol Spectr . 2022 Sep; 10(5):e0277922. PMID: 36094208
Many insects harbor bacterial endosymbionts that supply essential nutrients and enable their hosts to thrive on a nutritionally unbalanced diet. Comparisons of the genomes of endosymbionts and their insect hosts...

Nualkul M, Yuangsoi B, Hongoh Y, Yamada A, Deevong P
FEMS Microbiol Lett . 2022 May; 369(1). PMID: 35536569
The present study aimed to isolate and characterize proteolytic Bacillus spp. from termite guts to test the possibility of application for improving the nutritional value and bioactivity of fermented soybean...

Igai K, Kitade O, Fu J, Omata K, Yonezawa T, Ohkuma M, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2021 Dec; 31(4):1317-1331. PMID: 34865251
The hindgut of lower termites is generally coinhabited by multiple morphologically identifiable protist species. However, it is unclear how many protist species truly coexist in this miniaturized environment, and moreover,...

Bourguignon T, Kinjo Y, Villa-Martin P, Coleman N, Tang Q, Arab D, et al.
Curr Biol . 2020 Aug; 30(19):3848-3855.e4. PMID: 32763167
The evolutionary processes that drive variation in genome size across the tree of life remain unresolved. Effective population size (N) is thought to play an important role in shaping genome...

Merino N, Kawai M, Boyd E, Colman D, McGlynn S, Nealson K, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2020 Jul; 11:1031. PMID: 32655506
Serpentinite-hosted systems represent modern-day analogs of early Earth environments. In these systems, water-rock interactions generate highly alkaline and reducing fluids that can contain hydrogen, methane, and low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons-potent reductants capable...
