This project investigates the symbiotic relationships between attine ants and their fungal gardens, focusing on the bacterial communities in the ants' guts. It aims to identify these bacteria and understand their roles in the symbiotic relationship using advanced molecular techniques.
Symbiosis is the close and long-term interaction between different biological species.
Insects are among the best model systems for studying symbioses as their immune systems appear to be relatively tolerant to invasion and their niches are often so specialized that microbial symbionts can satisfy important metabolic needs.
Laboratories across the world often specialize either in the molecular biology of host-symbiont interactions in specific insect models, or in the evolutionary biology of para…
