Syntrophic Associations in Methanogenic Degradation -- Symbiosis between Non-Related Bacteria in Phototrophic Consortia -- Prokaryotic Symbionts of Termite Gut Flagellates: Phylogenetic and Metabolic Implications of a Tripartite Symbiosis -- Towards an Understanding of the Killer Trait: Caedibacter endocytobionts in Paramecium -- Bacterial Ectosymbionts which Confer Motility: Mixotricha paradoxa from the Intestine of the Australian Termite Mastotermes darwiniensis -- Extrusive Bacterial Ectosymbiosis of Ciliates -- Hydrogenosomes and Symbiosis -- Molecular Interactions between Rhizobium and Legumes -- Molecular mechanisms in the nitrogen-fixing Nostoc-Bryophyte symbiosis -- Symbiosis of Thioautotrophic Bacteria with Riftia pachyptila -- Symbioses of Methanotrophs and Deep-Sea Mussels (Mytilidae: Bathymodiolinae) -- Symbioses between Bacteria and Gutless Marine Oligochaetes -- Roles of Bacterial Regulators in the Symbiosis between Vibrio fischeri and Euprymna scolopes -- Molecular Requirements for the Colonization of Hirudo medicinalis by Aeromonas veronii
Symbiotic associations involving prokaryotes occur ubiquitously and are ecologically highly significant. In symbiotic associations, co-evolution of the partner organisms has led to specific mechanisms of signal exchange and reciprocal regulation, and resulted in novel physiological capabilities of the association as compared to those of the individual partners. Symbiosis research has recently entered an exciting era because molecular biology techniques are available for studying partner organisms in association and in a culture-independent manner. It is the goal of this book to contribute towards a broader perspective and an understanding of the function of symbiotic systems. 14 different model systems have been chosen, comprising well known symbioses as well as novel experimental systems which have only recently become amenable to experimental manipulation
