In typical mixing zones in deep-sea hydrothermal habitats, chemolithotrophic microbial communities consist of organisms with three typical lifestyles: surface-attached or biofilm-forming free-living entities, planktonic free-living entities, and symbiotic entities.
They go hand-in-hand as symbiotic and complementary entities: without basic research, applied research has no foundation, and without applied research, basic research yields no tools.
The application of this model will facilitate the design and development of eco-industrial parks and enable the identification of symbiotic relationships between the entities of such a park and other types of industrial ecosystems.
For Oliver, woods weren't abstract entities; they were symbiotic networks of carpenters, beetles, deer, land-thieves, lichens, pollards, surveyors and toadstools.
Ten of the 18 counties reported a loss in their most recent annual accounts.It is more accurate to consider the ECB and the counties as a single entity and the relationship as symbiotic, not parasitic.
In the case of the coral holobiont, this entity is presented as the partnership between corals, symbiotic dinoflagellates and other organisms including microbiota, viruses and fungi [ 89].
The main research question in this regard was how two different entities (artificial and biologic) could engage in a symbiotic relationship.
Mergers are characterized as symbiotic when neither of the merging firms are dominant in the newly formed entity, and rather mutually support each other's endeavors.
Symbiotic associations between green algae (Chlorophyta) and fungi give rise to morphologically and eco-physiologically distinct entities, or so-called, lichens.
Some of the other examples discussed in the manuscript however concern entities that do not reproduce by themselves (molecules) or do not compete for the same resource (symbiotic species).
