Oxygen-utilizing reactions and symbiotic colonization of the squid light organ by Vibrio fischeriEdward G Ruby, Margaret J McFall-Ngai A major goal in microbiology is to understand the processes by which bacteria successfully colonize host tissue. Although a wealth of studies…
Cellular and subcellular structure of anterior sensory pathways in Phestilla sibogae (Gastropoda, Nudibranchia)Boudko DY, Switzer-Dunlap M, Hadfield MG Two sensory-cell types, subepithelial sensory cells (SSCs) and intraepithelial sensory cells (ISCs), were identified in the anterior sensory organs (ASO: pairs of…
Sampling the light-organ microenvironment of Euprymna scolopes: Description of a population of host cells in association with the bacterial symbiont Vibrio fischeriS. V. Nyholm and M. J. McFall-Ngai The symbiosis between the squid Euprymna scolopes and the luminous bacterium Vibrio…

Stimulation of metamorphosis in the polychaete Hydroides elegans Haswell (Serpulidae)E. Carpizo-Ituarte and M. G. Hadfield The serpulid polychaete Hydroides elegans is a common, cosmopolitan warm-water biofouling organism. Competent larvae of H. elegans metamorphose rapidly after induction by marine biofilms. Only…
Symbiont recognition and subsequent morphogenesis as early events in an animal-bacterial mutualismMcFall-Ngai MJ, Ruby EG Bacterial colonization of the developing light organ of the squid Euprymna scolopes is shown to be highly specific, with the establishment of a successful association…
