An endosymbiont or endobiont is an organism that lives within the body or cells of another organism. Typically the two organisms are in a mutualistic relationship...

Trichonympha is referred to as an endosymbiont. However, Trichonympha is also a host to bacterial symbionts. Both as an endosymbiont and as a host, Trichonympha...

Plastids, like mitochondria, have their own DNA and are developed from endosymbionts, in this case cyanobacteria. They usually take the form of chloroplasts...
