The Establishment of Algal/Hydra Symbioses — a Case of Recognition or Preadaptation ?

  • Conference paper
Cell to Cell Signals in Plant, Animal and Microbial Symbiosis

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 17))

Abstract

The various symbioses we find in nature are supposed to be host/symbiont specific as a result of cell-to-cell signals, and recognition of the symbionts by the host (See this volume).
