Life Marine life: Tiny organisms have symbiotic relationships with pathogenic bacteria. Some of these symbionts discovered are close relatives of bacteria pathogenic to animals, including humans.

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean's upper layer.
