Specialized Metabolites Reveal Evolutionary History and Geographic Dispersion of a Multilateral Symbiosis
[Image: see text] Fungus-growing ants engage in a multilateral symbiosis: they cultivate a fungal garden as their primary food source and host symbiotic actinobacteria (Pseudonocardia spp.) that provide chemical defenses. The bacterial symbionts produce small specialized metabolites that protect the...
