Parasitoids, polydnaviruses and endosymbiosis
Parasitology Today, 1990Symbiotic associations traditionally have been treated as evolutionary curios rather than as a major source of evolutionary innovation. Recent research on a wide variety of organisms is changing this view and is breaking down the barriers between the traditional categories of parasitism, commensalism and mutualism, to produce a more flexible view of ...

Bacterial endosymbiosis in amoebae
Trends in Cell Biology, 1995The large, free-living amoebae are inherently phagocytic. They capture, ingest and digest microbes within their phagolysosomes, including those that survive in other cells. One exception is an unidentified strain of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that spontaneously infected the D strain of Amoeba proteus and came to survive inside them.

IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine, 2009
The science behind evolution suggests that the transition from cells without a nucleus to cells with a nucleus is perhaps the single greatest leap between there and here, and that it came about by the inclusion of some cells in some other cells. The term of art here, endosymbiosis, credits the ability to respire, move, and photosynthesize as results of

Hereditary endosymbiosis in Paramecium bursaria
Experimental Cell Research, 1960Abstract Methods for separating the hereditary endosymbiotic association Paramecium bursaria into its two components, paramecium and chlorella and for the independent culture of each are described. Chlorella-less paramecia can be reinfected, and combinations of algae and paramecia of various strains have been established and analyzed.

Endosymbiosis and its significance in dermatology
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2017AbstractProposed at the beginning of the twentieth century to explain the origin of eukaryotic organelles from prokaryotes, endosymbiosis is now medically defined by various interaction patterns between microorganisms and their residing hosts, best exemplified by the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia identified in arthropods and filarial nematodes ...

Arthropod Endosymbiosis and Evolution
2013The association of “two species that live on or in one another” was first described in the nineteenth century, and the word symbiosis was proposed to denote this biological phenomenon (Sapp 1994). The discovery that lichens are organisms generated by the integration of a fungus and blue-green algae, that is, cyanobacteria, was followed by a number of ...

Evidence for an early prokaryotic endosymbiosis
Nature, 2009Endosymbioses have dramatically altered eukaryotic life, but are thought to have negligibly affected prokaryotic evolution. Here, by analysing the flows of protein families, I present evidence that the double-membrane, gram-negative prokaryotes were formed as the result of a symbiosis between an ancient actinobacterium and an ancient clostridium.

Endosymbiosis: past and present
Heredity, 2005D iscoveries reported in PLoS Biology have opened up a promising new front in the battle against the human suffering caused by parasitic nematodes. Foster and colleagues (2005) have completed the genome sequence of a bacterium, Wolbachia sp., found in a nematode that infects humans and causes elephantiasis.
