Trachymyrmex septentrionalis ants promote fungus garden hygiene using Trichoderma-derived metabolite cues

K. E. Kyle, S. P. Puckett, A. M. Caraballo Rodriguez, J. Rivera Chavez, R. M. Samples, C. E. Earp, H. A. Raja, C. J. Pearce, M. Ernst, J. J. J. van der Hooft, M. E. Adams, N. H. Oberlies, P. C. Dorrestein, J. L. Klassen, M. J. Balunas

This paper identifies Trichoderma as a pathogen of fungus gardens and shows that peptaibols, its metabolites, trigger ant weeding behavior to maintain garden hygiene.

Trachymyrmex septentrionalis ant microbiome assembly is unique to individual colonies and castes.

E. A. Green, J. L. Klassen

This study shows that T. septentrionalis ant microbiomes are colony-specific and vary by caste and lab adaptation, with Tenericute bacteria showing significant abundance variation.
