Do nematode mucus secretions affect bacterial growth (2005, background): “Neither Adoncholaimus fuscus nor Geomonhystera disjuncta is prominently coated with bacteria, and there are at present no indications that specific microbiota associate with these nematodes, as in some nematode–bacteria symbiotic relations (Polz et al. 2000, Ott et al. 2004).”
The contribution of deep-sea macrohabitat heterogeneity to global nematode diversity (2010, background): “As already observed for other marine nematode genera (Ott et al 2004), symbioses with sulphur-oxidizing chemoautotrophic bacteria might be also an alternative to survive in seeps and hydrothermal vents.”
Responses of intertidal nematodes to short-term anoxic events (2007, background): “pulchra in our study indeed suggests a contribution of thiobiotic bacteria to their diet (Spiro et al., 1986; Ott et al., 2004).”
Meiobenthos at the Arctic Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano, with a parental-caring nematode thriving in sulphide-rich sediments (2006, background): “Chemosynthetic ectosymbionts are easily recognised by their relatively large size and dense aggregations (Ott et al. 2004), and endosymbiotic relationships are often accompanied by reduction of the digestive tract (Dubilier et al. 2001).”
