Project B4 (PIs Dagan, Unterweger) aims to investigate the mechanisms of bacterial niche specialization, focusing on interactions with the host and competitive interactions within the host-associated microbiome. This includes identifying the currencies at the origin …

Project B1 (PIs Hentschel, Fraune, Roth) uses cross-host comparisons to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the host differentiation between – and response to – native and nonnative microbes in marine metazoans. The …

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 …
