Anemones and fish, ants and acacia trees, fungus and trees,
buffaloes and oxpeckers--each of these unlikely duos is an
inimitable partnership in which the species' coexistence is
mutually beneficial. More specifically, they represent examples of
defensive mutualism, when one species receives protection against
predators or parasites in exchange for offering shelter or food to
its partner species. Explores the Diverse Range of Defensive
Mutualisms Involving Microbial Symbionts The past 20 years, since
this phenomenon first began receiving attention, have been marked
by a deluge of research in a variety of organism kingdoms and much
has been discovered about this intriguing behavior. Defensive
Mutualism in Microbial Symbiosis includes basic ecological and
biological information on defensive mutualisms, explores how they
function, and evaluates how they have evolved. It also looks at the
implications of symbiosis defensive compounds as a new frontier in
bioexploration for drug and natural product discovery--the first
book to explore this possibility. Chapters Written by Field
Authorities The book expands the concept of defensive mutualisms to
evaluate defense against environmental abiotic and biotic stresses.
Addressing the topic of defensive mutualisms in microbial symbiosis
across this wide spectrum, it includes chapters on defensive
mutualistic associations involving multiple kingdoms of organisms
in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems--plant, animal, fungi,
bacteria, and protozoans. Defensive Mutualism in Microbial
Symbiosis unifies scattered findings into a single compendium,
providing a valuable reference for field researchers and those in
academia to assimilate and acquire a knowledgeable perspective on
defensive mutualism, particularly those involving microbial
partners.
