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 کاملHonor thy symbionts.
Our intestine is the site of an extraordinarily complex and dynamic environmentally transmitted consortial symbiosis. The molecular foundations of beneficial symbiotic host-bacterial relationships in the gut are being revealed in part from studies of simplified models of this ecosystem, where germ-free mice are colonized with specified members of the microbial community, and in part from compar...
متن کاملSymbionts provide pesticide detoxification.
S ymbiosis is the intimate “living together” of different organisms (1), and symbiotic relationships range from mutually beneficial to neutral or parasitic. Indeed, many microbial–host symbioses can vary between these states, depending upon circumstances. Recent years have seen an explosion of discoveries revealing novel microbial–host relationships and interactions. In addition to “classic” nu...
متن کاملStable symbionts across the HMA-LMA dichotomy: low seasonal and interannual variation in sponge-associated bacteria from taxonomically diverse hosts.
Marine sponges host bacterial communities with important ecological and economic roles in nature and society, yet these benefits depend largely on the stability of host-symbiont interactions and their susceptibility to changing environmental conditions. Here, we investigated the temporal stability of complex host-microbe symbioses in a temperate, seasonal environment over three years, targeting...
متن کاملOlenid trilobites: the oldest known chemoautotrophic symbionts?
Late Cambrian to early Ordovician trilobites, the family Olenidae, were tolerant of oxygen-poor, sulfur-rich sea floor conditions, and a case is made that they were chemoautotrophic symbionts. Olenids were uniquely adapted to this habitat in the Lower Paleozoic, which was widespread in the Late Cambrian over Scandinavia. This life habit explains distinctive aspects of olenid morphology: wide th...
