Symbioses and Stress

Part of the book series: Cellular Origin, Life in Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology ((COLE,volume 17))

Abstract

The “living together of unlike organisms” in symbiosis implies the confrontation of different physiological properties and ecological preferences. To be successful, organisms in association need to resolve these differences and to account for situations of stress experienced by the symbiotic partners. In the following, we will review aspects of symbiosis and stress from several perspectives and elaborate on some general patterns.
