The <italic toggle="yes">Vibrio</italic>-Squid Symbiosis as a Model for Studying Interbacterial Competition

ABSTRACT The symbiosis between Euprymna scolopes squid and its bioluminescent bacterial symbiont, Vibrio fischeri, is a valuable model system to study a natural, coevolved host-microbe association. Over the past 30 years, researchers have developed and optimized many experimental methods to study bo...

Over the past 30 years, researchers have developed and optimized many experimental methods to study both partners in isolation and during symbiosis.
