symbiosis

Examples of symbiosis in the following topics:

• Mutualism vs. Symbiosis

  • Symbiosis is a relationship between two organisms: it can be mutualistic (both benefit), commensal (one benefits), or parasitic.
  • Symbiosis is any relationship between two or more biological species.
  • Common types of symbiosis are categorized by the degree to which each species benefits from the interaction:
  • Symbiosis can also be characterized by an organism's physical relationship with its partner.

• The Legume-Root Nodule Symbiosis

• Squid-Aliivibrio Symbiosis

  • Once A. fischeri has passed these hurdles at the opening of the light organ, it can colonize chambers of the light organ and begin enjoying the benefits of symbiosis.

• Gammaproteobacteria

  • Some Gammaproteobacteria are methane oxidizers, and many of them are in symbiosis with geothermic ocean vent dwelling animals.

• Early Discoveries in Nitrogen Fixation

  • In addition to having discovered this biochemical reaction vital to soil fertility and agriculture, Beijerinck is responsible for the discovery of this classic example of symbiosis between plants and bacteria.

• Ecology, Epidemiology, and Evolution of Pathogens

  • At one stage, the consensus was that over time, virulence moderated and parasitic relationships evolved toward symbiosis.

• Nanoarchaeum and Aciduliprofundum

  • The genome and proteome composition of N. equitans are marked with the signatures of dual adaptation – one to high temperature and the other to obligatory parasitism (or symbiosis).

• Microbes and the Origin of Life on Earth

  • Symbiosis occurs when two different species benefit from living and working together.

• Nitrate Reduction and Denitrification

  • Rhizobia are soil bacteria with the unique ability to establish a N2-fixing symbiosis on legume roots.

• Ecological Associations Among Microorganisms

  • This process is known as symbiosis.
