Abstract:
The Siphamia-Photobacterium mandapamensis symbiosis is a binary, gut-associated mutualism that serves as a powerful model for studying strain-level variation in host-microbe interactions. Its combination of high species-level specificity and significant strain diversity makes it ideal for exploring host selectivity, microbial diversity, and the broader mechanisms driving strain-level dynamics in microbial symbioses.
