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.
