A mixed community of actinomycetes produce multiple antibiotics for the fungus farming ant Acromyrmex octospinosus
BACKGROUND: Attine ants live in an intensely studied tripartite mutualism with the fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, which provides food to the ants, and with antibiotic-producing actinomycete bacteria. One hypothesis suggests that bacteria from the genus Pseudonocardia are the sole, co-evolved mu...
