• Symbiosis is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between

two different biological organisms, be it mutualistic, commensalistic ,
or parasitic.

• The organisms, each termed a symbiont, may be of the same or of

different species. In 1879, Heinrich Anton de Bary defined it as "the living

entirely depend on each other for survival, or facultative when they can
generally live independently.
