Overview

Analysis reveals symbiont sharing among seagrasses and lucinid bivalves, suggesting ecological connections.

Key Points

  • Diversity of symbionts found on seagrass and lucinid bivalves indicates ecological interdependence,
  • Amplicon and metagenome sequencing revealed previously unobserved symbiont diversity in the Adriatic Sea,
  • Two symbionts identical on seagrass roots and in bivalve hosts suggest potential host-sharing,
  • Study highlights implications for both hosts and symbionts, considering responses to climate change.
