WHAT DOES SYMBIOTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

symbiotic

Symbiosis

Symbiosis is close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species. In 1877, Albert Bernhard Frank used the word symbiosis to describe the mutualistic relationship in lichens. In 1879, the German mycologist Heinrich Anton de Bary defined it as "the living together of unlike organisms." The definition of symbiosis is controversial among scientists. Some believe symbiosis should only refer to persistent mutualisms, while others believe it should apply to any types of persistent biological interactions. After 130+ years of debate, current biology and ecology textbooks now use the latter "de Bary" definition or an even broader definition, with absence of the restrictive definition. Some symbiotic relationships are obligate, meaning that both symbionts entirely depend on each other for survival. For example, many lichens consist of fungal and photosynthetic symbionts that cannot live on their own. Others are facultative, meaning that they can, but do not have to live with the other organism. Symbiotic relationships include those associations in which one organism lives on another, or where one partner lives inside the other.

Definition of symbiotic in the English dictionary
