Process whereby microorganisms sequester diverse chemical elements into relatively stable
solid phases called biominerals.
Microbial Bio-Mineralization
What is the biodiversity of biomineralizing microorganisms and that of their biominerals?
What is the evolution and adaptive history of biomineralization processes?
What are their roles in biogeochemical cycles and global change?
What are the chemical pathways and molecular mechanismsof biomineral formation?
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Recent breakthrough: Symbiose magnetotactic
Transmission electron microscopy
Mutualistic symbiosis observed in marine anoxic sediments betweenexcavate protists (Symbiontida, Euglenozoa) and ectosymbioticDeltaproteobacteria biomineralizing ferrimagnetic nanoparticles.
Multi-layered mutualism based on collective magnetotactic motilitywith division of labour and interspecies hydrogen-transfer-basedsyntrophy.
The guided motility of the consortia along the geomagnetic field isallowed by the magnetic moment of the non-motile ectosymbioticbacteria combined with the protist motor activity, which is a uniqueexample of eukaryotic magnetoreception acquired by symbiosis.

La diversité spécifique des holobiontes par des approches d’écologie microbiennes indépendantes dela culture alliant tri cellulaire par micromanipulation, barcoding et approches de phylogéniemoléculaire.
La physiologie des partenaires sera inférée par l’annotation fonctionnelle de génomes et la génomiquecomparative.
L’évolution de l’interaction sera inférée par génomique évolutive.
Ces approches sont combinées à des approches de chimie, physique des matériaux et minéralogie La structure cellulaire et leur composition chimique seront déterminées par des techniques d’imagerie
impliquant microscopie de haute résolution et spectrométrie des rayons X. Les caractéristiques abiotiques de l’environnement seront déterminées par des approches de
biophysique et géochimie.
SymbioAdaptHypothèse principale: la coopération des sens de chimiotaxie et magnétoréception est répandue chez les eucaryotesunicellulaires et a émergé plusieurs fois dans leur histoire évolutive pour optimiser le déplacement de ces organismesvers les sédiments anoxiques.
Objectifs: ce projet vise à caractériser la biodiversité des holobiontes magnétotactiques et leur environnement,déterminer la biologie cellulaire des partenaires et inférer l’histoire évolutive de leur interaction.
