Question

The termite gut protist, mixotricha paradoxa, has at least two kinds of bacteria attached to its outer surface. One kind is a spirochete that propels its host through the termite gut. A second type of bacteria synthesizes atp, some of which is used by the spirochetes. The locomotion provided by the spirochetes introduces the atp-producing bacteria to new food sources. Which term(s) is (are) applicable to the relationship between the two kinds of bacteria
