SYMBIOSIS
The term symbiosis was first coined in 1879 by German botanist, Heinrich Anton De Bary, to describe the relationship between certain species of algae and fungi living together to form lichens Any animal or plant that spends a portion or all of its life cycle intimately associated with another
organism of a different species is considered as symbiont or symbiote and the relationship is
designated as symbiosis
There are four subordinate categories of symbiotic relationships that are commonly distinguished. Phoresis
Commensalism
Parasitism
Mutualism
Phoresis
The term phoresis means to carry. During this type of relationship, that which is usually the smaller of the two species- the phoront- is mechanically carried in or on the larger species- the host. No metabolic interaction or dependency occurs
An example of phoresis is the transport of bacteria on the legs of flies. The fly host provides only involuntary transportation for the bacteria. Although the fly host provides involuntary transportation for the bacteria, the life processes and welfare f both partners are not obligatorily dependent on what is essentially an accidental relationship.
