Mutualism on the edge: Understanding the Paramecium–Chlorella symbiosis

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Exploring the mechanisms that underpin symbiosis requires an understanding of how these complex interactions are maintained in diverse model systems. The ciliate protist, Paramecium bursaria, offers a valuable insight into how emergent endosymbiotic interactions have evolved.
