The argument is that these symbiotic organisms, being unable to survive apart from each other and their climate and local conditions, form an organism in their own right, under a wider conception of the term organism than is conventionally used.

The protein content of peroxisomes varies across species, but the presence of proteins common to many species has been used to suggest an endosymbiotic origin ; that is, peroxisomes evolved from bacteria that invaded larger cells as parasites, and very gradually evolved a symbiotic relationship.

Consequently, in Jewish tradition, the tribe of Zebulun was considered to have a symbiotic relationship with the tribe of Issachar, its neighbour and a tribe that traditionally was seen as having many scholars, whereby Zebulun would financially support Issachar's devotion to study and teaching of the Torah, in exchange for a share of the spiritual reward from such learning ; the terms Issachar and Zebulun came to be used by Jews for anyone engaged in such a relationship.

It is to be used as a last resort, or as a supplement to in-situ conservation because it cannot recreate the habitat as a whole: the entire genetic variation of a species, its symbiotic counterparts, or those elements which, over time, might help a species adapt to its changing surroundings.

Moore used several ecological metaphors, suggesting that the firm is embedded in a ( business ) environment, that it needs to coevolve with other companies, and that “ the particular niche a business occupies is challenged by newly arriving species .” This meant that companies need to become proactive in developing mutually beneficial (" symbiotic ") relationships with customers, suppliers, and even competitors.

Further, as a " parasitic " or " symbiotic " coprocessor, the NiTro-VLB was designed to co-opt the host 486 processor from running, and used four megabytes of the host 486 motherboard's system memory as a DMA buffer ( although the NiTro-VLB required its own separate DRAM main memory, in addition to any memory installed on the host 486 motherboard ).

In Ringworld's Children, it is suggested boosterspice may actually be adapted from Tree-of-Life, without the symbiotic virus that enabled hominids to metamorphose from Pak Breeder stage to Pak Protector stage ( mutated Pak breeders were the ancestors of both Homo sapiens and the hominids of the Ringworld ).

Many types of microorganisms have intimate symbiotic relationships with other larger organisms ; some of which are mutually beneficial ( mutualism ), while others can be damaging to the host organism ( parasitism ).

In general, only lifelong interactions involving close physical and biochemical contact can properly be considered symbiotic.

However, it now appears that they may be formed de novo, contradicting the idea that they have a symbiotic origin.

This may be explained by possibly a very close symbiotic relationship between two types of prokaryotes which eventually led to gene exchange and engulfing of the mitochondria precursors through partial fusion or engulfing by the host bacteria.

The Idirans ' decision to go to war is described as being founded in their philosophical, moral and religious distaste for the almost symbiotic nature of the Culture and the threat that their artificial intelligences were considered to be posing to the primacy and significance of biological life in the universe.

As inspirations for the Chronicles of Amber go, a compelling argument can be made for the 1946 novel The Dark World by Henry Kuttner ( and most likely his wife, C. L. Moore, an unusually symbiotic collaborator ).

Recent research showed that a-Si: H PV with low temperature coefficients allow the PVT to be operated at high temperatures, creating a more symbiotic PVT system and improving performance of the a-Si: H PV by about 10 %.

A flowering yucca plant that would be pollinated by a yucca mothIn this mutualistic symbiotic relationship, the yucca plant ( Yucca whipplei ) is pollinated exclusively by Tegeticula maculata, a species of yucca moth that in turn relies on the yucca for survival.

Some species of green algae, particularly of genera Trebouxia and Pseudotrebouxia ( Trebouxiophyceae ), can be found in symbiotic associations with fungi to form lichens.

) Also to be found in Evolution are ponderous Romans, sapient dinosaurs, the last of the wild Neanderthals, a primate who witnesses the extinction of the dinosaurs, symbiotic primate-tree relationships, mole people, and primates who live on a Mars-like Earth.

The major proposed alternative mechanistic explanation is that the developing immune system must receive stimuli ( from infectious agents, symbiotic bacteria, or parasites ) in order to adequately develop regulatory T cells, or it will be more susceptible to autoimmune diseases and allergic diseases, because of insufficiently repressed T < sub > h </ sub > 1 and T < sub > h </ sub > 2 responses, respectively.

It had ceased to be a symbiotic songwriting relationship, probably after the first record.

Cobalt has proven to be beneficial to at least some plants, but is essential in others, such as legumes where it is required for nitrogen fixation for the symbiotic relationship it has with nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Long thought to be symbiotic with the mussels ( whose larval phase attaches to fish gills during development ), recent research has indicated they are in fact parasitic, with co-evolution being seen in Chinese bitterling and mussel species.

Plastids are a specialized class of cellular organelles that carry their own genome and are believed to be descendants of cyanobacteria ( blue-green algae ) which formed a symbiotic relationship with the eukaryotic cell.

The relationship between mother and mother's boy is thought to be " symbiotic ": the mother enjoys controlling her mother's boy.

The light can be produced from compounds during the digestion of prey, from specialized mitochondrial cells in the organism, called photocytes (" light producing " cells ), or, similarly, associated with symbiotic bacteria in the organism that is cultured.

Another discovery is that the diverse chromosomal structures in this group appear to be capable of supporting both symbiotic and pathogenic lifestyles.

Co-evolutionary relationships can be diffuse, as among all plants and insects, specific as between two cells in an organism or just two species, symbiotic or competitive ( both being reciprocal ), symmetrical or asymmetrical, and so forth ( Kramer, 2000a, 2000c, 2009, 2012 ).

Paramecium bursaria, a species of ciliate, has a mutualistic symbiotic relationship with green alga called Zoochlorella.

During this interaction bacteroids, as rhizobia are called in the symbiotic state, are contained in intracellular compartments within a specialized organ, the nodule, where they fix N < sub > 2 </ sub >.

They contain symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within nodules in their root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants.

It is thought that over millennia these endosymbionts transferred some of their own DNA to the host cell's nucleus during the evolutionary transition from a symbiotic community to an instituted eukaryotic cell ( called " serial endosymbiosis ").

The byrum matures into a form called a Gray ; in their normal environment they would maintain a symbiotic relationship with their host, but the cold environment causes them to react badly and kill their earthly hosts.

Some of the species also harbour a type of algae, dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae, in a symbiotic relationship ; the reef building corals known as hermatypic corals rely on this symbiotic relationship particularly.
