[1] In Star Trek, the Trill were a race of humanoids who incorporated a long-living symbiont. One of them was a main character on the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In the series Stargate SG-1, both the principal villains, the Goa'uld and their benevolent versions, the Tok'ra were symbionts who grafted themselves into the human nervous system.
An example of a horizontally transmitted symbiont with a high specificity recognition and acquisition method is the Rhizobia-Legume symbiosis. The establishment of the symbiosis begins with the aposymbiotic plant releasing flavinoids that are detected by a specific Rhizobium species and triggers the induction of nod genes in the bacterium.

For example, in lichens, which consist of fungal and photosynthetic symbionts, the fungal partners cannot live on their own. [ 11 ] [ 19 ] [ 20 ] [ 21 ] The algal or cyanobacterial symbionts in lichens, such as Trentepohlia , can generally live independently, and their part of the relationship is therefore described as facultative (optional ...
For example, Eddie Brock was able to survive indefinitely with terminal cancer, [37] and Scott Washington was able to walk despite being paraplegic. [38] Similarly, Flash Thompson and Cletus Kasady had received "legs" when bonded with the Venom symbiote and Carnage symbiote even though they had lost their legs.
European mistletoe is an example of an ectosymbiotic parasite that lives on top of trees and removes nutrients and water. Ectosymbiosis is a form of symbiotic behavior in which an organism lives on the body surface of another organism (the host), including internal surfaces such as the lining of the digestive tube and the ducts of glands.
Language is a mutualist symbiont and enters into a mutually beneficial relationship with its hominid host. Humans propagate language, whilst language furnishes the conceptual universe that guides and shapes the thinking of the hominid host.
An example of horizontal transmission is the deep sea tube worm and its symbiont. [7] The second type of transmission is vertical transmission in which the symbiont is passed down from the parent to the offspring and there is no aposymbiotic phase. [ 7 ]
