Consequently, many multicellular organisms with symbiotic organs have evolved mechanisms to monitor and punish microbial cheaters. Sachs’s lab has explored this phenomenon as it relates to plant ...

Each person’s microbiota contains around 10 to 100 trillion symbiotic microbial cells, which are primarily made up of bacteria in the gut. Scientists are learning to better understand this ...

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 ...

In the absence of a rigorous genetic approach for studying the role of individual members in complex symbiotic microbial communities, we must turn to comparative analysis of large numbers of ...

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 ...

Since time immemorial, plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have coexisted in a mutually beneficial relationship. The ...
