Significance Honey bees are globally important plant pollinators. Guts of adult workers contain specialized bacteria not found outside bees. Experimental results show that gut increase weight gain in young bees, affect expression genes governing insulin and vitellogenin levels, sucrose sensitivity. Gut also shape the physicochemical conditions within gut, lowering pH oxygen levels. Peripheral resident consume oxygen, thus maintaining anoxia, as required for microbial activity. Additionally,...
Bees acquire carbohydrates from nectar and lipids; amino acids pollen, which also contains polysaccharides including cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin. These potential energy sources could be degraded fermented through microbial enzymatic activity, resulting in short chain fatty available to hosts. However, the contributions of individual microbiota members polysaccharide digestion have remained unclear. Through analysis bacterial isolate genomes a metagenome honey bee gut microbiota, we...
ABSTRACT Social bees collect carbohydrate-rich food to support their colonies, and yet, certain carbohydrates present in diet or produced through the breakdown of pollen are toxic bees. The gut microbiota social is dominated by a few core bacterial species, including Gram-negative species Gilliamella apicola . We isolated 42 strains G. from guts honey bumble sequenced genomes. All share high 16S rRNA gene similarity, but they vary extensively repertoires related carbohydrate metabolism....
Honeybees are highly social insects with a rich behavioral repertoire and versatile model for neurobiological research. Their gut microbiota comprises limited number of host-restricted bacterial phylotypes that important honeybee health. However, it remains unclear how specific members affect behaviors. Here, we find antibiotic exposure disturbs the community influences phenotypes under field conditions. Using laboratory-generated gnotobiotic bees, show normal is required olfactory learning...
Honeybee gut microbiota plays an important role in host physiology and metabolism. Recent studies have shown that the influence of resident microorganisms regulation honeybee immune system is profound, which protects against pathogen Serratia marcescens. However, only few core members functions been studied. Here, we explored how different bee bacterial species aided clearance pathogenic Hafnia alvei, causes septicemia with a high mortality rate. We found both Gilliamella apicola W8136...
Summary The bacterial tree contains many deep‐rooting clades without any cultured representatives. One such clade is ‘ E ndomicrobia’, a class‐level lineage in the phylum lusimicrobia represented so far only by intracellular symbionts of termite gut flagellates. Here, we report isolation and characterization first free‐living member this from sterile‐filtered homogenate defaunated (starch‐fed) R eticulitermes santonensis . Strain sa215 strictly anaerobic ultramicrobacterium that grows...
The honeybee possesses a limited number of bacterial phylotypes that play essential roles in host metabolism, hormonal signaling, and feeding behavior. However, the contribution individual gut members shaping brain profiles remains unclear. By generating gnotobiotic bees which were mono-colonized by single bacterium, we revealed different species regulated specific modules metabolites hemolymph. Circulating involved carbohydrate glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways mostly Gilliamella,...
Abstract Nosema ceranae is an intracellular parasite invading the midgut of honeybees, which causes serious nosemosis implicated in honeybee colony losses worldwide. The core gut microbiota involved protecting against parasitism, and genetically engineering native symbionts provides a novel efficient way to fight pathogens. Here, using laboratory-generated bees mono-associated with members, we find that Snodgrassella alvi inhibit microsporidia proliferation, potentially via stimulation host...
Abstract Saline–alkali is an important abiotic stressor influencing tomato production. Exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) well known to increase resistance a variety of stresses, although its exact mechanism yet unknown. In this study we confirmed that 22.5 μmol/l MeJA could significantly improve the saline–alkali stress tomato. (300 mM) increased endogenous and jasmonic acid (JA) contents by 18.8 13.4%, respectively. application JA in 15.2 15.9%, Furthermore, found transcription factor,...
SUMMARY Saline‐alkali stress is an important abiotic factor affecting tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) plant growth. Although the involvement of SlWRKY gene family in responses to saline‐alkali has been well established, mechanism underlying resistance remains unclear. In this study, we investigated role SlWRKY81 conferring by using overexpression and knockout seedlings obtained via genetic modification. We demonstrated that improves ability withstand enhancing antioxidant capacity, root...
Abstract Background Honey bee gut microbiota transmitted via social interactions are beneficial to the host health. Although microbial community is relatively stable, individual variations and high strain-level diversity have been detected across honey bees. structure influenced by environmental factors, heritability of members contribution genetics remains elusive. Considering bees within a colony not readily genetically identical due polyandry queen, we hypothesize that can be shaped...
Abstract Background Microbial acquisition and development of the gut microbiota impact establishment a healthy host-microbes symbiosis. Compared with other animals, eusocial bumblebees honeybees possess simple, recurring, similar set microbiota. However, all bee phylotypes have high strain-level diversity. Gut communities different species are composed host-specific groups strains. The variable genomic regions among strains same often confer critical functional differences, such as carbon...
Salt stress adversely affects the growth and yield of crops. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in plant responses to biotic abiotic stresses. In this study, 400 mM NaCl significantly induced expression S-transferase U43 (SlGSTU43) roots wild-type tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants. Overexpressing SlGSTU43 enhanced ability scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) leaves under stress, while knock-out mutants showed opposite performance. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that...
