Detritivores often engage in mutualistic relationships with bacteria, fungi, or protozoa, which can be either obligate (essential for the survival of at least one of the parties) or facultative (beneficial but not essential). Additionally, the concept of "external rumens" refers to the process where detritivores externally process material with the help of microbial symbionts, further illustrating the diversity of these mutualistic interactions.
