Gut-Germline Axis: A Reproductive Endosymbiont's Adaptation is Modulated by the Gut Microbiome
2024-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Holobionts contain extra- and intracellular microbes that are typically studied in symbiotic and anatomical siloes. Here we demonstrate a previously unknown impact of the extracellular gut microbiome on the adaptation of a reproductive endosymbiont. Specifically, a paternal-effect embryonic lethality caused by Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is attenuated by the gut microbiome. Gut microbiome-me...
