Plants with root nodules, for example, secrete compounds such as flavonoids when nitrates are scarce in the soil, helping to activate signaling pathways in nitrogen-fixing bacteria that then ...

but was also the first individual to observe a microbial symbiosis. It would be nearly 300 years before the concepts and molecular sequencing methods to define the diversity and reproducibility of ...

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 ...

These bacteria provide vital enzymes ... gene transfer is quite common in leaf beetles,” said Kirsch. “Both symbiosis and horizontal gene transfer have profoundly influenced insect evolution.” ...

Autumn olive engages in a symbiotic relationship with Frankia bacteria in root nodules, the location where nitrogen fixation occurs. Previous research has demonstrated that autumn olive is capable of ...

“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 ...

Diversity of Microbial Symbionts Associated with Invertebrates Symbiodinium spp. are highly diverse and can occur in symbiosis with mollusks, sponges, flatworms, protists, some ciliates, and ...

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 ...
