  2. Industrial symbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_symbiosis

    Example of Industrial symbiosis: waste steam from a waste incinerator (right) is piped to an ethanol plant (left) where it is used as an input to their production process. Industrial symbiosis [1] a subset of industrial ecology. It describes how a network of diverse organizations can foster eco-innovation and long-term culture change, create ...

  3. Symbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis

    The definition of symbiosis was a matter of debate for 130 years. [7] In 1877, Albert Bernhard Frank used the term symbiosis to describe the mutualistic relationship in lichens. [8] [9] In 1878, the German mycologist Heinrich Anton de Bary defined it as "the living together of unlike organisms".

  4. Nod factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nod_factor

    Nod factors initiate the establishment of a symbiotic relationship between legumes and rhizobia by inducing nodulation. Nod factors produce the differentiation of plant tissue in root hairs into nodules where the bacteria reside and are able to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere for the plant in exchange for photosynthates and the appropriate ...

  5. Mass production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_production

    Mass production, also known as flow production, series production, series manufacture, or continuous production, is the production of substantial amounts of standardized products in a constant flow, including and especially on assembly lines.

  6. Symbiotic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiotic_bacteria

    Ectosymbiosis is defined as a symbiotic relationship in which one organism lives on the outside surface of a different organism. [3] For instance, barnacles on whales is an example of an ectosymbiotic relationship where the whale provides the barnacle with a home, a ride, and access to food.

  7. Microbial consortium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_consortium

    The concept of a consortium was first introduced by Johannes Reinke in 1872, [4] [5] and in 1877 the term symbiosis was introduced and later expanded on. Evidence for symbiosis between microbes strongly suggests it to have been a necessary precursor of the evolution of land plants and for their transition from algal communities in the sea to ...

  8. Endosymbiont - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosymbiont

    The Rhizobia-Legume symbiosis (bacteria-plant endosymbiosis) is a prime example of this modality. [21] The Rhizobia-legume symbiotic relationship is important for processes such as the formation of root nodules. It starts with flavonoids released by the legume host, which causes the rhizobia species (endosymbiont) to activate its Nod genes. [21]

  9. Rhizobacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizobacteria

    The symbiotic relationship, in short, can lead to increased competition. [4] PGPRs increase the availability of nutrients through the solubilization of unavailable forms of nutrients and by the production of siderophores which aids in the facilitating of nutrient transport.
