Functional diversity within the simple gut microbiota of the honey bee.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Jul 2012

Engel Philipp, Martinson Vincent G, Moran Nancy A

Abstract excerpt

Animals living in social communities typically harbor a characteristic gut microbiota important for nutrition and pathogen defense. Accordingly, in the gut of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, a distinctive microbial community, composed of a taxonomically restricted set of species specific to social bees, has been identified. Despite the ecological and economical importance of honey bees and the increasing concern...
