Microorganisms physically associated with other organisms

Microbial interactions

various ways such as

microorganism remains outside other organisms

microorganim found within other organism

microorganisms lives both on the inside and the outside organisms

intermittent, cyclic or permanent

obligatory associations that provides benefit to both partners

secrete cellulases which metabolize cellulose used by insects

Protozoan-termite relationship

guts of insects

algae protect fungi from excess light as well as provide mineral, water and firm substratum

can obtain nutrients from alga by hyphal projections and respiration

lichen

zooxanthellae

energy needs and protect algae from uv

tube worm binds hydrogen sulphide to hemoglobin and transport to bacteria

to synthesize reduced organic material that supplied to the worm

hydrothermal vent communities

anoxic, have high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and temperatures of 350 degree celcius

methane based mutualism

to support nutritional needs

methane -vent musels and sponges

bacteria provides vitamin to insects wheras insect provide habitat to bacteria

metabolize cellulose to smaller molecules

by ruminants

mutually beneficial relationship that is not obligatory

3-chlorobenzoate

three different microorganisms

quorum sensing

communicate as they form associations with plants and animals

predator engulfs and attact prey

vampirococcus causes lysis of prey

prey provides protective environmentfor the prey and predators mineralize organia matter

fungi that traps nermatodes

one organisms benefits from host

human diseases, parasitic fungi and an algae as well as biocontrol use

releaese specific compound that harm others

antibiotics, bacteriocins, antibacterial peptides and acidic fermentation products

waste products of one microorganism serves as substrates for another

one microorganism modifies the environmentsuited for others

nitrification, common nonpathogenic strain and succession of microorganisms in an environment

different organisms within population or community which try to acquire the same sources

competitive exclusion principle

if two populations overlap too much in terms of their resourse use, then other is excluded

interactions between two populations leads to feedback in the larger biotic community
