Mechanisms underlying bacterial persistence in a mutualism

In ho­ri­zont­ally trans­mit­ted bac­terial sym­bi­oses, the as­so­ci­ation must not only suc­cess­fully ini­ti­ate the as­so­ci­ation between an en­vir­on­mental mi­crobe and a po­ten­tial host, but also de­velop mech­an­isms to as­sure a long­time main­ten­ance between the spe­cies. In the squid-vi­brio sym­bi­osis, the two part­ners have evolved both mor­pho­lo­gical and bio­chem­ical mech­an­isms by which to as­sure the suc­cess­ful per­sist­ence of the col­lab­or­a­tion. These mech­an­isms build on pre-ex­ist­ing sig­nal­ing cap­ab­il­it­ies present within the bio­logy of each part­ner, like quorum sens­ing and re­sponses to small RNA, re­veal­ing com­mon pro­cesses that may be shared among other host-mi­crobe as­so­ci­ations.
