Siboglinid-bacteria endosymbiosis: A model system for studying symbiotic mechanisms.
Siboglinid worms are a group of gutless marine annelids which are nutritionally dependent upon endosymbiotic bacteria.1,2 Four major groups of siboglinids are known including vestimentiferans, Osedax spp., frenulates and moniliferans.3-5 Very little is known about the diversity of bacterial endosymbionts associated with frenulate or monoliferan siboglinids. This lack of knowledge is surprising ...
متن کاملEndosymbiosis: Bacteria Sharing the Load
A nested set of bacterial endosymbionts within mealybug cells collectively provides amino acids to their host, but their genomes show that some pathways are distributed between both endosymbionts, while other essential proteins are missing altogether. The possibility that additional functions are shared between partners warrants comparisons with organelles.
متن کاملEndosymbiosis
The phenomenon of endosymbiosis, or one organism living within another, has deeply impacted the evolution of life and continues to shape the ecology of countless species. Traditionally, biologists have viewed evolution as a largely bifurcating pattern, reflecting mutations and other changes in existing genetic information and the occasional speciation and divergence of lineages. While lineage b...
متن کاملEndosymbiosis: The Evil within
A recent study has revealed a novel feature of the symbiosis between a bacterium and a fungal pathogen. In addition to producing a pathogenic toxin, the endosymbiont of the rice pathogen Rhizopus microsporus controls the ability of the fungus to form sporangia and spores.
متن کاملEndosymbiosis: infection and cure.
Symbiosis is a term met by beginning biology students well before they reach college. A dictionary definition includes, "the living together in more or less intimate association or even close union of two dissimilar organisms."' There are two classes of symbiotes-ectosymbiotes and endosymbiotes. Ectosymbiosis is a less controversial topic because the partners are fairly easily separable and ide...
