Abstract: Intracellular symbiosis, in which a host organism harbors a microbial symbiont within its cells, has been widely observed across diverse lineages. This phenomenon is intriguing not only within the context of individual symbiotic relationships, but also more broadly, as the origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to trace back to microorganisms that were incorporated into host cells. Therefore, the study of intracellular symbiosis may provide insights to the understanding of a crucial trigger for the acquisition of novel biological functions and evolutionary modifications. Despite the wide interest in intracellular symbiosis, the mechanisms and adaptations required to harbor microbial symbionts remain largely elusive. One contributing factor is that the majority of symbiotic organs are highly specialized and distinct from the rest of the body, and thus lack a clear “non-symbiotic” subject to compare with.

Seminar by Prof. Valerio Orlando

Talk by Florian Meier, TU-Wien. Physical devices operating out of equilibrium are inherently affected by thermal fluctuations, limiting their operational precision. This issue is pronounced at microscopic and especially quantum scales and can only be mitigated by incurring additional entropy dissipation. Understanding this constraint is crucial for both fundamental physics and technological design.
