MICROBIAL INTERACTIONS - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Syntrophism
      - Commensalism
      - Mutualism
      - Proto-cooperation
    - - Predation
      - Parasitism
      - Competition
      - Ammensalism
  - - - Human-associated microbiota impacts health
      - Environmental microbes determine ecosystem sustainability, Eg: Rhizobacteria have been shown to promote biocontrol agents or interfere with pathogens of biocontrol or affect other rhizosphere processes
  - - - Reversible attachment of planktonic cells (took seconds)
      - First colonizers become irreversibly attached (took second, minutes)
      - Growth and cell division (took hours or maybe days)
      - Production of EPS and formation of water channels (also take hours and days)
      - Attachment of secondary colonizers and dispersion of microbes to new sites (which takes days or even month)
  - - - Predation & Parasitism (-/+)
        
        Parasitism is a bacterial relationship between two species in which one benefits at the expense of the other, eg: Bdeliovibrio
        
        Predation is a bacterial interaction involve killing the other bacteria abs consuming them as a nutritional resource, eg: Vampirococcus & Daptobacter
      - Amensalism (-/0)
        
        Amensalism or antagonism is a bacterial interaction between bacteria that only give a negative impact on one partner, eg: Acidithiobacillus thioxidans
      - Commensalism (0/+)
        
        Commensalism is a bacterial relationship in which one organism gain their benefits and another one is unaffected, eg: Nitrosomonas &Nitrobacter
      - Competition (-/-)
        
        Competition is a rivalry between or among the bacteria for either resources, territory, goods and etc, eg: Production of antimicrobial agent in the petri dish
      - Mutualism & Synergism (+/+)
        
        Syntrophy is a bacterial relationship in which one or both gain a nutritional benefit from the presence of the other, eg: Syntrophomonas & Methanogens
        
        Protocooperation is a beneficial bacterial interaction for both partners only for the gain without interdependency, eg: N2 fixing bacteria & Cellulolytic bacteria (Cellulomonas)
      - No interaction (0/0)
- - - - The organisms themselves, other organisms, the interactions between living organisms and even their residues
      - Other biotic factors include parasitism, disease and predation
      - Directly and also indirectly affect organisms within a living environment
    - - Affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce
      - Limiting factors resist population growth
      - Help determine the type and number of organisms capable of existing within an environment
  - - - Biogeochemical cycle is a process involve the recycling of essential elements of living matter (such as nutrient, e.g. inorganic matter) between living organisms and their nonliving environment
