Chapter 23.2, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Consortia are microbial communities that live under the symbiotic association. They are present in freshwater environments. The formation of consortia takes between the phototrophic green sulfur bacteria and with their non-motile partner. The motile partner is usually a non-photosynthetic bacterium. The consortium is named with genus and species; however, it does not indicate its true species.
