Thiopeptide Defense by an Ant’s Bacterial Symbiont

2019-08-16

Abstract excerpt

Fungus-growing ants and their bacterial symbionts have emerged as a model animal-microbe symbiosis and an ideal system for understanding antibiotic deployment in an ecological context. We found that Pseudonocardia symbionts of the ant Trachymyrmex septentrionalis have strong antibiotic activity against their most likely competitors: other strains of ant-associated bacteria. Activity-guided fractionation re...
