Symbiosis is a fascinating interaction between different biological species that live closely together, often adding value to ...

Symbiotic associations with microorganisms play pivotal roles in animals, plants and human. Now "symbiosis" and "microbiome" are important keywords in basic biology, agriculture and medical science.

It is thought that ancestors of the AM fungi engaged in similar symbiotic relationships with cyanobacteria before the evolution of land plants. According to this theory, the presence of these ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

Is it possible that animal–microorganism alliances have been the basis of some of the major milestones in animal evolution? Animal biologists have long recognized that symbiosis was important ...

Symbiotic organs are remarkably diverse both in terms of function and in terms of the species that possess them. One of the best-known examples comes from a marine organism that lives at deep-sea ...

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer. Some ...

At the ISEE lab, we integrate bottom-up (focused on specific interactions) and top-down (addressing broader community and ecosystem dynamics) approaches to investigate how symbiotic micro-organisms ...

Both symbiosis and horizontal gene transfer have strongly influenced the evolution of insects," says Roy Kirsch. Dynamic evolution of pectinases The analyses also revealed that the vast majority ...
