Why focus on symbiosis now? McFall-Ngai points out the role of new, improved or more widely available tools in detecting and characterizing microbial diversity. Microbiologists have moved beyond ...

“The symbiosis started in ancient times, probably when the habitat was different, and now these bacteria are no longer present in the surrounding sediments of the animals,” said Corinaldesi. To ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes. "We know there are many symbionts in the world ...
