Interaction specificity between leaf-cutting ants and vertically transmitted Pseudonocardia bacteria
BACKGROUND: The obligate mutualism between fungus-growing ants and microbial symbionts offers excellent opportunities to study the specificity and stability of multi-species interactions. In addition to cultivating fungus gardens, these ants have domesticated actinomycete bacteria to defend gardens...
