In the marine environment, bivalve mollusks constitute habitats for bacteria of the
Vibrionaceae family. Vibrios belong to the microbiota of healthy oysters and mussels, which …

Highlights•High-throughput sequencing technologies enabled research on bivalve-
microbiota interactions.•Bivalve-microbiota interactions depend on host factors nested within …

Background The metabolic capacity, stress response and evolution of uncultured
environmental Tenericutes have remained elusive, since previous studies have been largely …

Long-lasting high temperature and bacterial exposure are two critical environmental factors
contributing to the mass mortality of oysters in summer. In this study, we investigated the …

Rapid improvements in the technology used to assess microbial communities have led to an
expansion of the breadth and scope of microbial ecology research over the past 20 y. The …

Marine invertebrate microbiomes play important roles in diverse host and ecological
processes. However, a mechanistic understanding of host-microbe interactions is currently …

Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
are commercially important marine bivalves that frequently coexist and have overlap** …

Climate change, represented by rising and fluctuating temperature, induces systematic
changes in marine organisms and in their bacterial symbionts. However, the role of host …

For over a decade, Pacific oyster mortality syndrome (POMS), a polymicrobial disease,
induced recurring episodes of massive mortality affecting Crassostrea gigas oysters …

Bivalve shellfish consumption (ark shells, clams, cockles, and oysters) has increased over
the last decades. Following this trend, infectious disease outbreaks associated with their …
