Isolation and characterization of mollicute symbionts from a fungus-growing ant reveals high niche overlap leading to co-exclusion
ABSTRACT Two mollicute species belonging to the Mesoplasma and Spiroplasma genera have been detected in several species of fungus-growing ants using molecular methods. However, their ecological roles remain largely inferred from metagenomic data. To better understand their diversity and specializati...
