mutualism

Examples of mutualism in the following topics:

• Cooperation Among Microorganisms

  • Cooperative behavior, includes mutualism and altruism, benefits one party while the other performs a certain behavior.
  • In microbial systems, there are two main types of cooperation, altruism and mutualism.
  • Mutualism is a relationship between microorganisms that is mutually beneficial (+/+).

• Mutualism vs. Symbiosis

  • Mutualism: In mutualistic interactions, both species benefit from the interaction.
  • A classic example of mutualism is the relationship between insects that pollinate plants and the plants that provide those insects with nectar or pollen.

• Host Range

  • A host is an organism that harbors a parasite or a mutual or commensal symbiont, typically providing nourishment and shelter.

• Attachment and Entry of Herpes Simplex

  • These interactions bring the membrane surfaces into mutual proximity and allow for other glycoproteins embedded in the viral envelope to interact with other cell surface molecules.

• Global Health

  • It is necessary to distinguish between independent interventions and mutually exclusive interventions.
  • However, when mutually exclusive interventions are compared, it is essential to use incremental cost-effectiveness ratios.

• Ecology, Epidemiology, and Evolution of Pathogens

  • In most cases, microorganisms live in harmony with their hosts via mutual or commensal interactions.

• Common Bacterial Traits

  • In addition, they grow in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals, providing outstanding examples of mutualism in the digestive tracts of humans, termites, and cockroaches.

• Ecological Associations Among Microorganisms

  • These symbiotic associations can be divided into parasitism, mutualism and commensalism.

• Habitats and Energy Metabolism of Crenarchaeota

  • These groups are not comprehensive or phylum-specific, nor are they mutually exclusive, since some archaea belong to several groups.
