Bacterial gut symbionts contribute to seed digestion in an omnivorous beetle.

PloS one - 26 May 2010

Lundgren Jonathan G, Lehman R Michael

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obligate bacterial symbionts alter the diets of host animals in numerous ways, but the ecological roles of facultative bacterial residents that colonize insect guts remain unclear. Carabid beetles are a common group of beneficial insects appreciated for their ability to consume insect...
