Bacteriocyte dynamics during development of a holometabolous insect, the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus
BACKGROUND: The carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus harbors obligate intracellular mutualistic bacteria (Blochmannia floridanus) in specialized cells, the bacteriocytes, intercalated in their midgut tissue. The diffuse distribution of bacteriocytes over the midgut tissue is in contrast to many other...
