Vedclass · Answer

(A) The interaction is known as $Amensalism$. It is also referred to as $Antibiosis$.In this interaction,one species produces a chemical substance or alters environmental conditions that are harmful to another species,while the first species remains unaffected.For example,$Penicillium$ $notatum$ (a blue mold) secretes $Penicillin$,an antibiotic that kills bacteria.The adversely affected species is called the $amensal$,while the species that causes the harm is called the $inhibitor$.In the case of $Penicillium$ and bacteria,the bacteria are harmed,while the fungus remains unaffected. The fungus can survive regardless of the presence or absence of the bacteria.
