Chloroplasts likely first entered a host cell as food before establishing a successful merger with the cell so they were not digested.Ages ago, as land plants were evolving, they ran into a few impediments. Soil can sometimes prove a nutrient-poor and inhospitable environment. In order to grow and thrive, plants need nitrogen to make proteins, but they lack the chemistry set to convert free nitrogen in the air into a form their cells can use. l, e, d, l, i. To overcome these obstacles, early plants struck deals with co-evolving bacteria and fungi. Bacteria will take steps to insure their survival. This can take the form of creating resting structures that allow the microbe to sleep during bad times. During abundant times, many microbes will store excess carbon, nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorous in inclusions in the cell. Not only is structure important to understand functional relationships, it's also fascinating to observe what these little architects come up with.

Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment. However, in some persons the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. In these patients, the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness. Planktonic V. fischeri are found in very low quantities (almost udnetectable) in almost all oceans of the world, preferentially found in temperate and sub-tropical waters. These free-living vibrios subsist on organics within the water. They are found in higher concentrations in symbiosis with certain deep sea marine life within special light-organs; or as part of the normal enteral microbiota of marine animals. Additionally the bacteria can be pathogenic to certain species of marine invertebrates, some of which are commercially farmed in aquaculture. This disease is known as luminous vibriosis.
