Short description: A type of symbiotic relationship where one organism is capable of photosynthesis
Photosymbiosis is a type of symbiosis where one of the organisms is capable of photosynthesis.[1]
Background
Examples of photosymbiotic relationships include those in lichens, plankton, and many marine organisms including coral, giant clams, and jellyfish.[2][3][4]
Photosymbiosis is important in the development, maintenance, and evolution of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, for example through supporting soil formation and soil stabilization and coral reef growth and maintenance.[5][6]
Photosymbiotic relationships where microalgae live within a heterotrophic host organism, is believed to have led to eukaryotes acquiring photosynthesis and the evolution of plants.[7]
