Abstract Some lineages of ants, termites, and beetles independently evolved a symbiotic association with lignocellulolytic fungi cultivated for food, in lifestyle known as fungiculture. Fungus-growing insects’ symbiosis also hosts bacterial community thought to integrate their physiology. Similarities taxonomic composition support the microbiota fungus-growing insects convergent, despite differences fungus-rearing by these insects. Here, comparing several ranging diverse dietary patterns, we...
Thirty-nine yeast strains were recovered from a field nest of primitive and putative novel attine ant species in the genus Myrmicocrypta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: tribe Attini). Yeasts isolated fungus garden waste deposit included Candida dubliniensis , oleophila Cryptococcus haglerorum Hanseniaspora uvarum . In addition, one morphological type was overwhelmingly. Sequencing data partial large-subunit (LSU) rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region coupled with physiological...
A new phenolic glucoside, named curculigoside (I), was isolated from the rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides GAERTN. and its structure elucidated as 5-hydroxy-2-O-β-D-glucopyranosylbenzyl 2,6-dimetoxybenzoate.
Leaf-cutting ants modify the properties of soil adjacent to their nests. Here, we examined whether such an ant-altered environment impacts belowground fungal communities. Fungal diversity and community structure from fungus garden chambers Atta sexdens rubropilosa bisphaerica, two widespread leaf-cutting in Brazil, were determined compared with non-nest soils. Culture-dependent methods revealed similar species richness but different compositions between both types Penicillium janthinellum...
Leaf-cutter ants in the genus Atta are dominant herbivores Neotropics. While most species of cut dicots to incorporate into their fungus gardens, some specialize on grasses. Here we examine bacterial community associated with gardens grass- and dicot-cutter how changes substrate input affect community. We sequenced metagenomes 12 across four ants, a total 5.316 Gbp sequence data. show significant differences garden composition between dicot- grass-cutter having lower diversity. Reflecting...

Leaves of copperleaf (Acalypha spp.) are greatly accepted by leaf-cutting ants and therefore used to maintain colonies in the laboratory. In order determine attractive potential granulated bait Acalypha wilkesiana leaves versus citrus pulp, currently commercial baits, an evaluation was performed, using ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa as model. The handmade non-toxic baits contained powder (90% w/w) either pulp or A. were offered simultaneously foraging arena until total loading one them....
Leaf-cutting ants in the genera Atta Fabricius and Acromyrmex Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) cultivate a mutualistic fungus for food.The maintain fungal cultivar (Leucoagaricus gongylophorus (Moller) Singer; Basidiomycota: Agaricales) structure named garden, composed of mycelium plant material collected by workers.Fungus gardens are threatened specialized microfungal parasite Escovopsis Muchovej & Della Lucia (Ascomycota: Hypocreales), which negatively impacts development colony.This is...
The present study aimed to evaluate the carrying and effect of (dry) granulated baits containing conidia entomopathogenic fungi among colonies leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa in laboratory. This bait type was chosen facilitate its eventual commercial use. Two applications were performed: first, with 1x108 conidia/g utilized while second employed concentrations 5 8.6 times greater. formulated a citric pulp base, 2 isolates Beauveria bassiana, 1 Paecilomyces lilacinus Isaria...
