Symbiotic bacterial communities in rainforest fungus-farming ants: evidence for species and colony specificity

Animals may host diverse bacterial communities that can markedly affect their behavioral physiology, ecology, and vulnerability to disease. Fungus-farming ants represent a classical example of mutualism that depends on symbiotic microorganisms. Unraveling the bacterial communities associated with fu...
