Intra-specific genomic analysis reveals host-symbiont co-diversification in marine anaerobic ciliates, suggesting mixed transmission modes.

Key findings indicate incongruency in host mitochondrial and symbiont phylogenies, suggesting a mixed transmission mode.
Genomic analysis of host and symbionts across 11 populations reveals distinct location-specific clusters.
Study highlights that ecological factors drive genomic divergence in marine ciliates and their methanogenic partners.
Insights from this research enhance the understanding of cell-cell interactions in multi-domain symbiotic relationships.

Rotterová et al. (2025) studied this question.
