Genomic insights into bacterial isolates dominating honeypot ant crop microbiomes reveal metabolically distinct <i>Fructilactobacillus</i> sp.

2026-04-11

Abstract excerpt

Honeypot ants engage in a convergently-evolved phenotype called repletism, where specialized workers expand their crops and gasters to store vast amounts of food internally. They then store that food for months to support colonies during times of food scarcity. This fascinating phenotype is not well-understood and very little is known about the microbial interactions happening within the fructose-rich replete crop...
