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 investigate whether functional profiles are characteristic fungiculture environment . Compared other hosts, associated presents distinctive profile, dominated Gammaproteobacteria at class level Pseudomonas genera level.

Our results could be functionally adapted environment, codifying potentially relevant ecosystems functioning.
