Do amino and fatty acid profiles of pollen provisions correlate with bacterial microbiomes in the mason beeOsmia bicornis?

Bee performance and well-being strongly depend on access to sufficient appropriate resources, in particular pollen nectar of flowers, which constitute the major basis bee nutrition. Pollen-derived microbes appear play an important but still little explored role plant pollen–bee interaction dynamics, e.g. through affecting quantities ratios nutrients. To better understand how collected by bees may affect larval health nutrition, we investigated correlations between floral, bacterial nutritional composition provisions gut communities solitary megachilid Osmia bicornis . Our study reveals quality complete community as well individual members both guts. In fatty acid profiles interact with specific community, indicating that pollen-derived bacteria provisioning. As increasing evidence suggests a strong effect dietary acids performance, future work should address observed interactions relate O.

Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid, is a vector of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), causal agent huanglongbing (HLB), world's most serious disease citrus. Owing to relevancy and urgency HLB research, study transmission biology in pathosystem has been significant area research.

Both symbionts and environmental factors contribute to shape the microbiota in a pest insect, Sogatella furcifera

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14

Published: Jan. 24, 2024

Introduction Bacterial symbionts are prevalent in arthropods globally and play a vital role the fitness resistance of hosts. While several symbiont infections have been identified white-backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera, impact environmental factors on microbiota within S. furcifera remains elusive. Methods In this study, total 142 individuals from 18 populations were collected 14 locations across six countries (China, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos) analyzed with 2bRAD-M sequencing, to examine effects population, as well bacterial communities. Results discussion Based results, , presence Wolbachia Cardinium negatively influenced abundance other bacteria, including Enterobacter, Acinetobacter, Lysinibacillus, while infection significantly decreased diversity microbial community. Moreover, factors, longitude, latitude, temperature, precipitation, affected . These results collectively highlight microbiota, intricate communities

Insect–microbe interactions and their influence on organisms and ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(7)

Published: July 1, 2024

Abstract Microorganisms are important associates of insect and arthropod species. Insect‐associated microbes, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, can drastically impact host physiology, ecology, fitness, while many microbes still have no known role. Over the past decade, we increased our knowledge taxonomic composition functional roles insect‐associated microbiomes viromes. There has been a more recent shift toward examining complexity microbial communities, how they vary in response to different factors (e.g., genome, strain, environment, time), consequences this variation for wider ecological community. We provide an overview insect–microbe interactions, variety associated functions, evolutionary ecology these relationships. explore influence environment interactive effects insects their across trophic levels. Additionally, discuss potential subsequent synergistic reciprocal impacts on microbiomes, communities. Lastly, some avenues future insect‐microbe interactions that include modification existing symbionts as well construction synthetic

Diversity and Functions of Yeast Communities Associated with Insects

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 9(8), P. 1552 - 1552

Published: July 21, 2021

Following the concept of holobiont, insect-microbiota interactions play an important role in insect biology. Many examples host-associated microorganisms have been reported to drastically influence biological processes such as development, physiology, nutrition, survival, immunity, or even vector competence. While a huge number studies on insect-associated microbiota focused bacteria, other microbial partners including fungi comparatively neglected. Yeasts, which establish mostly commensal symbiotic relationships with their host, can dominate mycobiota certain insects. This review presents key advances and progress research field highlighting diversity yeast communities associated insects, well impact life-history traits, behavior.
