Microbial Interactions

The inter and intra relationships between symbiosis  and antibiosis known as microbial interactions  In microbial interactions two species will interact in which each species derives a benefit. These reactions may occur intermittent, permanent or cyclic. Microbial interactions are diverse ubiquitous and very important in the function of any biological community. Pathogenesis are the disease causing agents like virus, bacteria , fungi, antagonistic interactions are characterized by competition, amensalism, and predation. In competitive scenarios, microorganisms vie for the same resources, such as nutrients or space, leading to the inhibition or exclusion of some species. Amensalism occurs when one organism produces substances that inhibit or kill another organism, a classic example being the production of antibiotics by certain fungi or bacteria that suppress the growth of nearby competitors. Predation involves one microorganism actively consuming another, such as bacteriophages infecting and lysing bacterial cells. These interactions are crucial in shaping microbial communities, influencing ecological balance, and driving evolutionary processes.
