Genetic diversity of fungi occurring in nests of three Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ant species from Córdoba, Argentina.

Microbial ecology - 1 Oct 2007

Abril A B, Bucher E H

Abstract excerpt

It is assumed in current literature that the fungus garden cultivated by leaf-cutting ants consists of a single fungus species, the putative mutualistic fungus. However, most studies report a very high rate of fungi contamination (fungi isolated from fungus gardens that are considered not to be the mutualistic fungus). In this article, we report a genetic similarity analysis of all fungi (regardless of their...
