Paleocene origin of a streamlined digestive symbiosis in leaf beetles

M. Garcia-Lozano, C. Henzler, M. A. G. Porras, I. Pons, A. Berasategui, C. Lanz, H. Budde, K. Oguchi, Y. Matsuura, Y. Pauchet, S. Goffredi, T. Fukatsu, H. Salem

This study determines the Paleocene origin of a symbiotic relationship between Cassidinae leaf beetles and their bacterial symbiont, showing how the symbiont enhances digestive capabilities and promotes host diversification.

Extracellular symbiont colonizes insect during embryo development

M. A. G. Porras, I. Pons, M. Garcia-Lozano, S. Jagdale, C. Emmerich, B. Weiss, H. Salem

This study identifies an extracellular symbiont, Stammera, that colonizes insect embryos before hatching, challenging the notion that extracellular microbes are only acquired post-hatching.

Genomic insights into the evolution of secondary metabolism of Escovopsis and its allies, specialized fungal symbionts of fungus-farming ants

A. Berasategui, H. Salem, A. Moller, Y. Christopher, Q. V. Montoya, C. E. Conn, T. D. Read, A. Rodrigues, N. Ziemert, N. M. Gerardo

This study investigates the evolution of secondary metabolism in Escovopsis and related fungi, revealing unique biosynthetic pathways linked to their symbiotic lifestyle with fungus-growing ants.

Gut microbiota of the pine weevil degrades conifer diterpenes and increases insect fitness

A. Berasategui, H. Salem, C. Paetz, M. Santoro, J. Gershenzon, M. Kaltenpoth, A. Schmidt

This study shows that the gut microbiota of the pine weevil degrades conifer diterpenes, enhancing insect fitness by improving diet nutritional value rather than detoxification.
