Ignacio J. Melero-Jiménez, a researcher at the Department of Botany and Plant Physiology of the University of Malaga, has collaborated with an international scientific team that has shown, based on an experimental system that reproduces a mutualistic microbial community, that the most common evolutionary solution for two co-dependent organisms to survive extreme environmental change could be to become self-sufficient.
