An organism participating in a symbiotic relationship in which one species derives some benefit while the other is unaffected.
endosymbionts
A symbiotic association in which one or more organisms live inside another, such as bacteria in human intestines.
symbiotic
1. Biology A close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that may, but does not necessarily, benefit each member.
2. A relationship of mutual benefit or dependence.
epigenetics
The study of heritable changes in gene expression that are caused by factors such as DNA methylation rather than by a change in the sequence of base pairs in DNA itself.
epigenesis
1. Biology The theory that an individual is developed by successive differentiation of an unstructured egg rather than by a simple enlarging of a preformed entity.
2. Geology Change in the mineral content of a rock because of outside influences.

plasticizer
Any of various substances added to plastics or other materials to make or keep them soft or pliable.
glycerol
A syrupy, sweet, colorless or yellowish liquid triol, C3H8O3, obtained from fats and oils as a byproduct of saponification and used as a solvent, antifreeze, plasticizer, and sweetener and in the manufacture of dynamite, cosmetics, liquid soaps, inks, and lubricants.
saponification
A reaction in which an ester is heated with an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide, producing a free alcohol and a carboxylate salt, especially alkaline hydrolysis of a fat or oil to make soap.
hydrolysis
The reaction of water with another chemical compound to form two or more products, involving ionization of the water molecule and usually splitting the other compound. Examples include the catalytic conversion of starch to glucose, saponification, and the formation of acids or bases from dissolved ions.
carboxylate
A salt or ester of an organic acid, derived from the carboxyl group. Soaps, which are usually the sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids, are carboxylates.
adj. (-lāt′, -lĭt)
1. Of or relating to a carboxylate.
2. Of or relating to the anionic conjugate base of a carboxylic acid, specifically the CO22- group
Lipases
Any of a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of fats into glycerol and fatty acids.
Endosymbionts
A symbiotic association in which one or more organisms live inside another, such as bacteria in human intestines.
commensals
Of, relating to, or characterized by a symbiotic relationship in which one species is benefited while the other is unaffected.
n.
