Update on Nutrient Sharing between Symbionts Nutrient Sharing between Symbionts
In this review, we consider the exchange of nutrients between the host plant and the bacterial microsymbiont in nitrogen-fixing legume root nodules. During nodule formation, the host tissues and the bacterial microsymbiont develop in response to each other to form a specialized tissue that maintains an environment where nitrogen fixation can occur (Brewin, 2004; Mergaert et al., 2006; Prell and...
متن کاملNutrient provisioning facilitates homeostasis between tsetse fly (Diptera: Glossinidae) symbionts.
Host-associated microbial interactions may involve genome complementation, driving-enhanced communal efficiency and stability. The tsetse fly (Diptera: Glossinidae), the obligate vector of African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei subspp.), harbours two enteric Gammaproteobacteria symbionts: Wigglesworthia glossinidia and Sodalis glossinidius. Host coevolution has streamlined the Wigglesworthia ...
متن کاملCospeciation between Hosts and Symbionts:
I. Introduction Mutualistic associations between eukaryotic hosts and their microbial partners have long been an interest of ecologists and evolutionary biologists due to the importance of understanding phylogenetic congruence, coevolution, host specificity, infectivity, and maintaining the precarious balance between pathogenicity and innocuousness. Each partner has an important function in the...
متن کاملA genomic perspective on nutrient provisioning by bacterial symbionts of insects.
Many animals show intimate interactions with bacterial symbionts that provision hosts with limiting nutrients. The best studied such association is that between aphids and Buchnera aphidicola, which produces essential amino acids that are rare in the phloem sap diet. Genomic studies of Buchnera have provided a new means for inferring metabolic capabilities of the symbionts and their likely cont...
متن کاملNutrient transfer to plants by phylogenetically diverse fungi suggests convergent evolutionary strategies in rhizospheric symbionts
Most land plants are able to form symbiotic associations with fungi, and in many cases these associations are necessary for plant and fungal survival. These plant/fungal associations are formed with mycorrhizal (arbuscular mycorrhizal or ectomycorrhizal) or endophytic fungi, fungi from distinct phylogenetic lineages. While it has been shown that mycorrhizal fungi are able to transfer nutrients ...
