Project Summary
The Burghardt lab at Penn State University studies the evolution of host-microbe mutualisms. Unlike
obligate pathogens, mechanisms and rules governing facultative, mutualistic symbiosis remain largely
unexplored. These relationships are characterized by the ability of each partner to survive independently, live
in close physical…
