symbiotic

Examples of symbiotic in the following topics:

• The Legume-Root Nodule Symbiosis

  • Legumes have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria called rhizobia, which create ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen and help the plant.
  • Many legumes have root nodules that provide a home for symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia.
  • However, when legume plants encounter low nitrogen conditions and want to form a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia they release flavinoids into the soil.
  • The relationship between a host legume and the rhizobia is symbiotic, providing benefits to both participants.

• Mycorrhiza

  • A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.
  • A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic (generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.
  • Mycorrhizas are present in 92% of plant families studied (80% of species) , with arbuscular mycorrhizas being the ancestral and predominant form and the most prevalent symbiotic association found in the plant kingdom.

• Suppression and Alteration of Microbiota by Antimicrobials

  • This is especially a problem when broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents are used, as antimicrobial treatments while helping to clear up pathogenic microbes from the body will often kill symbiotic bacteria.
  • The treatment of translocated or pathogenic bacteria may necessitate the use of antibiotics that will kill symbiotic bacteria.
  • Sometimes the use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents is unavoidable; in these situations, consuming foods such as yogurt which contains beneficial bacteria can replenish the body's symbiotic microbes.
  • In extreme cases microbes can be transplanted from a healthy individual to someone with whose symbiotic microbes have been compromised.
  • The oblong structures are Escherichia coli (E. coli), a symbiotic bacteria found in the human intestinal system.

• Sea Coral and Sea Anemone Zooxanthellae

  • Zooxanthellae refers to a variety of species that form symbiotic relationships with other marine organisms, particularly coral.
  • Symbiodinium are colloquially called "zooxanthellae" (or "zoox"), and animals symbiotic with algae in this genus are said to be "zooxanthellate".

• Mutualism vs. Symbiosis

  • Symbiotic relationships are categorized by the benefits and physical relationships experienced by each species.
  • Parasitism: Parasites are organisms that harm their symbiotic partners.
  • Endosymbiosis: a relationship in which one of the symbiotic species lives inside the tissue the other.

• The Rumen and Ruminant Animals

  • Thus ruminants depend on the symbiotic microbes in their guts to break down cellulose for digestion.

• The Energetics of Chemolithotrophy

  • Macrofauna and lithotrophs can form symbiotic relationships, in which case the lithotrophs are called "prokaryotic symbionts".
  • Macrofauna and lithotrophs can form symbiotic relationships, in which case the lithotrophs are called "prokaryotic symbionts".

• Anaerobiosis and N2 Fixation

  • Many rhizobia, nitrogen fixing bacteria, live in a symbiotic relationship with plants known as legumes.
  • Leghemoglobin is produced by legumes in response to the roots being infected by rhizobia, as part of the symbiotic interaction between the plant and these nitrogen-fixing bacterium.

• Squid-Aliivibrio Symbiosis

  • A special category of symbiotic relationships involve bioluminescence, where light producing bacteria are hosted by another organism.

• Colonization and Growth

  • They thus have a symbiotic relationship with the host, preventing infection and speeding wound healing.
