Honey bee (Apis mellifera) queen quality: host-microbial transcriptomes exploring the influence of age and hindgut symbiont Commensalibacter melissae

Abstract Understanding the biological mechanisms underlying extreme lifespan variation within species remains a fundamental challenge in aging research. Here, we investigated the role of gut microbiota and age in honey bee (Apis mellifera) queens combining 16S rRNA gene sequencing and transcriptomic...
