Symbiosis as the way of eukaryotic life: the dependent co-origination of the body.

Journal of biosciences - 1 Apr 2014

Gilbert Scott F

Abstract excerpt

Molecular analyses of symbiotic relationships are challenging our biological definitions of individuality and supplanting them with a new notion of normal part-whole relationships. This new notion is that of a 'holobiont', a consortium of organisms that becomes a functionally integrated 'whole'. This holobiont includes the zoological organism (the 'animal') as well as its persistent microbial symbionts. This new...
