This project investigates the diversity and adaptability of specific bacteria found in floral nectar, focusing on how these microorganisms influence nectar chemistry and pollinator behavior. By employing advanced techniques in phenotyping and genomic analysis, the research aims to uncover the ecological roles of these…
Plants are hotspots of microbial diversity, and novel lineages of plant-associated microorganisms are continuously described.
Recently, floral nectar has been identified as the natural habitat of different highly adapted yeasts and bacteria which can withstand elevated sugar contents and the presence of plant secondary metabolites with defensive functions.
As a consequence of their metabolism, these microorganisms can reduce the nutritional value of nectar and profoundly alter its chemistry, an…
