The complexities of inferring symbiont function: Paraburkholderia symbiont dynamics in social amoeba populations and their impacts on the amoeba microbiota

Abstract: The relationship between the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and its endosymbiotic bacteria Paraburkholderia provides a model system for studying the development of symbiotic relationships. Laboratory experiments have shown that any of three species of Paraburkholderia symbiont allow D. discoideum food bacteria to persist through the amoeba lifecycle and survive in amoeba spores, rather than being fully digested. This phenomenon is termed "farming", as it potentially allows spores dispersed to food poor… Show more
