Environmental bacteria influence many facets of choanoflagellate biology, yet surprisingly few examples of symbioses exist. We need to find out why, as choanoflagellates can help us to understand how symbiosis may have shaped the early evolution of animals.
环境细菌影响领鞭毛虫生物学的许多方面,但令人惊讶的是,共生现象的例子却很少。我们需要弄清楚原因,因为领鞭毛虫可以帮助我们理解共生是如何塑造动物早期进化的。
