Summary

"Convergent evolution of the host epithelial interface with the microbiota a–c, The study of the mammalian microbiota is most developed but it is becoming clear that diverse animals (a, b) and plants (c) possess epithelial surfaces where a complex microbiota can grow. In these systems, the host releases nutrients, antimicrobials, and a slimy matrix of mucus or mucilage, which are all thought to help control the microbiota (host control). In return, the symbionts may provide nutrients and protection from pathogens through antimicrobial (Antimicro.) release and other mechanisms"
