Evidence for maternal transmission fo a putative endosymbiont in the digestive gland of Pomacea canaliculata (Architaenioglossa, Ampullariidae)
(Instituto de Histología y Embriología, 2017-12)
The digestive gland of the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata lodges two types of pigmented corpuscles (identified as C and K corpuscles) which has been proposed as endosymbiont/s. Both corpuscular types are always present ...
Coxiella endosymbiont of rhipicephalus microplus modulates tick physiology with a major impact in blood feeding capacity
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05)
In the past decade, metagenomics studies exploring tick microbiota have revealed widespread interactions between bacteria and arthropods, including symbiotic interactions. Functional studies showed that obligate endosymbionts ...
Prospection and Evaluation of (Hemi) Cellulolytic Enzymes Using Untreated and Pretreated Biomasses in Two Argentinean Native Termites
(Public Library of Science, 2015-08)
Saccharum officinarum bagasse (common name: sugarcane bagasse) and Pennisetum purpureum (also known as Napier grass) are among the most promising feedstocks for bioethanol production in Argentina and Brazil. In this study, ...
A study of chlorophyll-like and phycobilin pigments in the C endosymbiont of the apple- snail Pomacea canaliculata
(Instituto de Histología y Embriología, 2012-08)
Pigments present in the brown-greenish C morph of an intracellular endosymbiont of Pomacea canaliculata were investigated. Acetone extracts of the endosymbiotic corpuscles showed an absorption spectrum similar to that of ...
Consequences of stress induced by heat on fitness of Delphacodes kuscheli and its yeast-like endosymbionts
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-06)
The planthopper Delphacodes kuscheli is the main vector of Mal de Río Cuarto virus in Argentina, disease that severely affects maize production. In this study, we investigated the effects of heat stress on fitness traits ...
Systemic fungicides reduce the abundance of yeast-like symbiotes and the performance of the planthopper Delphacodes kuscheli (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Delphacodes kuscheli is the main vector of Mal de Río Cuarto, the most important viral disease of maize in Argentina. This planthopper harbours obligate fungal mutualists, known as yeast-like symbiotes (YLS), which play a ...
Direct effect of ozone pollution on aphids: Revisiting the evidence at individual and population scales
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-04)
Most of our knowledge about the consequences of tropospheric ozone pollution on aphid-plant interaction assumes the absence of a direct effect of ozone on aphids. However, the biological effects of ozone encompass changes ...
First identification of bacterial endosymbionts in three South-American spittlebug pests: Notozulia entreriana, Deois mourei and Deois knoblauchii
(Alma Mater Studiorum, Università di Bologna, 2022-06)
Spittlebugs cause major pasture damage in the Neotropics. As most xylem-feeders, they depend on microbial symbionts to supply essential amino acids to their diet. Here, the obligate nutritional endosymbiont ‘Candidatus ...
Off-target capture data, endosymbiont genes and morphology reveal a relict lineage that is sister to all other singing cicadas
(Oxford University Press, 2019-12)
Phylogenetic asymmetry is common throughout the tree of life and results from contrasting patterns of speciation and extinction in the paired descendant lineages of ancestral nodes. On the depauperate side of a node, we ...
A multiple comparative study of putative endosymbionts in three coexisting apple snail species
(PeerJ, Inc, 2019-10)
We here compare morphological and molecular characters of some putative endosymbioticelements of the digestive gland of three ampullariid species (Pomacea canaliculata,Pomacea scalaris and Asolene platae) which coexist in ...
