The Symbionts lived in the Caves of Mak'ala on [[Trill]] and were cared for by the Guardians. They communicated with each other via electrical impulses transmitted through the milky water they inhabited. To communicate with their hosts, they used the neurotransmitter known as isoboramine. Because hosts became dependent on this neurotransmitter, many hosts died if their symbiont was removed. | The Symbionts lived in the Caves of Mak'ala on [[Trill]] and were cared for by the Guardians.

The Symbiosis Commission oversaw the joining of [[Trill]] and Symbionts. The general belief in the 24th century was that one in every 1,000 Trill was suitable for joining; however, the number was nearer to 50% of the population. This was a closely guarded secret because every year about 1,000 Trill became initiates while only about 300 symbionts became available.<ref name= "Trill MA">[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Trill "Trill"], Memory Alpha</ref> | The Symbiosis Commission oversaw the joining of [[Trill]] and Symbionts.
