Parasitism is a type of symbiosis where one organism or population benefits and the other is harmed.

Parasitism 

Mutualism, also known as syntropy or crossfeeding, is a symbiotic relationship in which two different species interact and both species obtain a benefit.

Mutualism 

Amensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one population or species is harmed or destroyed, while the other population remains unaffected.

Amensalism 

Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits from the interaction while the other organism is unaffected.

Commensalism 

Neutralism is a type of symbiosis in which two coexisting organisms interact, but neither is affected in any way.

Symbiosis in prokaryotes refers to any interaction between different species associated within a community, spanning a continuum from opposition to cooperation. These relationships can be beneficial, harmful, or have no effect on the species involved.

Types of Symbioses Among Prokaryotes

Bacteria form unique beneficial or pathogenic relationships with plants. For example, bacteria living on plant roots or leaves get nutrients from the plant and produce protective substances against pathogens, while other bacteria function as plant pathogens, using infection mechanisms similar to those affecting animals and humans.
