Many Fungi have a well-developed secondary metabolism. The diversity of fungal species
and the diversification of biosynthetic gene clusters underscores a nearly limitless potential …

Covering: through 2014 Many organisms team up with microbes for defense against
predators, parasites, parasitoids, or pathogens. Here we review the described protective …

Symbiotic microbes have become increasingly recognized to mediate interactions between
natural enemies and their hosts. The ecologies of these symbioses, however, are poorly …

The review analyses data on physiological and biochemical influence of rhizospheric and
endophytic plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on induced the mechanisms of …

Bacteriophages are known to carry key virulence factors for pathogenic bacteria, but their
roles in symbiotic bacteria are less well understood. The heritable symbiont Hamiltonella …

In this review, we examine the functional roles of microbial symbionts in plant tolerance to
cold and freezing stresses. The impacts of symbionts on antioxidant activity, hormonal …

Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco) toxicological assessments because they
offer ethical, cost‐effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in …

Background Maternally-transmitted associations between endosymbiotic bacteria and
insects are ubiquitous. While many of these associations are obligate and mutually …

Symbiotic microbes can dramatically impact host health and fitness, and recent research in a
diversity of systems suggests that different symbiont community structures may result in …

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial symbiotic communities span through kingdoms. The
vast microbial gene pool extends the host genome and supports adaptations to changing …
