  2. Fungal-bacterial endosymbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungal-bacterial_endosymbiosis

    Fungal-bacterial endosymbiosis encompasses the mutualistic relationship between a fungus and intracellular bacteria species residing within the fungus. Many examples of endosymbiotic relationships between bacteria and plants, algae and insects exist and have been well characterized, however fungal-bacteria endosymbiosis has been less well described.

  3. Fungivore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungivore

    The majority of our knowledge in this area relates to interactions between bacteria and fungi in the soil and in or around plants, little is known about interactions in marine and freshwater habitats, or those occurring on or inside animals. It is not known what effects bacterial mycophagy has on the fungal communities in nature. [17]

  4. Fungus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus

    The English word fungus is directly adopted from the Latin fungus (mushroom), used in the writings of Horace and Pliny. [10] This in turn is derived from the Greek word sphongos (σφόγγος 'sponge'), which refers to the macroscopic structures and morphology of mushrooms and molds; [11] the root is also used in other languages, such as the German Schwamm ('sponge') and Schimmel ('mold').

  6. Endosymbiont - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosymbiont

    Fungi host endohyphal bacteria; [110] the effects of the bacteria are not well studied. Many such fungi in turn live within plants. [110] These fungi are otherwise known as fungal endophytes. It is hypothesized that the fungi offers a safe haven for the bacteria, and the diverse bacteria that they attract create a micro-ecosystem. [111]

  7. Plant microbiome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_microbiome

    Recent studies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi using sequencing technologies show greater between-species and within-species diversity than previously known. [ 35 ] [ 5 ] The most frequently studied beneficial rhizosphere organisms are mycorrhizae , rhizobium bacteria , plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and biocontrol microbes .

  8. Symbiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis

    One hypothesis for the origin of the nucleus in eukaryotes (plants, animals, fungi, and protists) is that it developed from a symbiogenesis between bacteria and archaea. [ 5 ] [ 66 ] [ 67 ] It is hypothesized that the symbiosis originated when ancient archaea, similar to modern methanogenic archaea, invaded and lived within bacteria similar to ...

  9. Clade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clade

    The relationship between clades can be described in several ways: A clade located within a clade is said to be nested within that clade. In the diagram, the hominoid clade, i.e. the apes and humans, is nested within the primate clade. Two clades are sisters if they have an immediate common ancestor. In the diagram, lemurs and lorises are sister ...
