microbiont


Explanation:
Un microbionte (microbiont en inglés) es un tipo de interacción simbiótica entre un microorganismo y un organismo mayor (generalmente se aplica a plantas, pero no tiene que ser sólo de éstas). Un ejemplo de microbionte es un micobionte (mycobiont en inglés), la parte que representa el hongo (fungal) en un liquen.

--------------------------------------------------

Generalmente, los términos científicos en español suelen ser versiones de sus originales en inglés (microbiont/microbionte, mycobiont/micobionte deben ser ejemplos de ello). Los científicos crean palabras para explicar sus hallazgos que no aparecen en los diccionarios, a veces, hasta varias décadas después de creadas. La palabra "mycobiont" debe ser más antigua y por tanto más usada (lo que explica que aparezca más en Google u otros lugares). Luego a alguien se le ocurrió crear la palabra "microbiont" para abarcar otro tipo de relaciones simbióticas (no sólo entre un hongo y un alga) y ha sido usada en algunas publicaciones científicas. Escoger la palabra "correcta" usando el criterio de la abundancia, muchas veces cumple su cometido, pero no siempre. Habría que tener más contexto para ver el tipo de relación simbiótica en este caso, pero dado que los microbiontes incluyen a los micobiontes y, más importante aun, no hay constancia (sin contexto) que se trate de líquenes creciendo sobre la piel, no hay razón para pensar que "microbiontes" sea un error tipográfico.

Example sentence(s):
  • Characterized by the host's mode of recognizing the microbiont.
