Microbiota-host interactions at the base of the metazoan tree

Project B2 (PI Schmitz-Streit) will study host-microbe interactions during early developmental stages, focusing on the jellyfish system Aurelia aurita. The project aims to identify the members in the jellyfish microbiome whose presence is crucial for asexual reproduction and to decipher the role of host-derived quorum quenching (QQ) activities in host-microbe interactions.
