Specificity and stability of the Acromyrmex-Pseudonocardia symbiosis.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2013

Andersen S B, Hansen L H, Sapountzis P, Sørensen S J, Boomsma J J

Abstract excerpt

The stability of mutualistic interactions is likely to be affected by the genetic diversity of symbionts that compete for the same functional niche. Fungus-growing (attine) ants have multiple complex symbioses and thus provide ample opportunities to address questions of symbiont specificity and diversity. Among the partners are Actinobacteria of the genus Pseudonocardia that are maintained on the ant cuticle to...
