Once established in the squid’s organ, bacterial symbionts are fed by their cephalopod host, while the microbes luminesce—a trait the squid uses to disguise its silhouette from predators beneath it in ...

In new research published this week in Cell Host & Microbe, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in ...

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer.

But some have taken the relationship to an extreme, developing specialized organs that house bacterial symbionts and mediate contact between the two parties. A selection of these so-called symbiotic ...

In viewing these microbial communities, van Leeuwenhoek not only made the first recorded observations of living bacteria, but was also the first individual to observe a microbial symbiosis.

They thrive on the abundant biopolymer lignocellulose, depending upon a phy-logenetically diverse community of hindgut microbes including Bacteria, Archaea, and unicellular amitochondriate Eukarya for ...

Autumn olive engages in a symbiotic relationship with Frankia bacteria in root nodules, the location where nitrogen fixation occurs. Previous research has demonstrated that autumn olive is capable of ...

They have a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria, primarily from the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus, which live within the nematodes. This partnership is crucial for the nematodes ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes. "We know there are many symbionts in the world ...
