Coevolution between attine ants and actinomycete bacteria: a reevaluation.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2008

Mueller Ulrich G, Dash Debadutta, Rabeling Christian, Rodrigues Andre

Abstract excerpt

We reassess the coevolution between actinomycete bacteria and fungus-gardening (attine) ants. Actinomycete bacteria are of special interest because they are metabolic mutualists of diverse organisms (e.g., in nitrogen-fixation or antibiotic production) and because Pseudonocardia actinomycetes are thought to serve disease-suppressing functions in attine gardens. Phylogenetic information from culture-dependent and...
