Gardeners and midden workers in leaf-cutting ants learn to avoid plants unsuitable for the fungus at their worksites
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-05)
Plant selection in leaf-cutting ants is not solely based on innate or learned preferences by foragers, but also on their previous experience with plants that have harmful effects on their symbiotic fungus. Foragers learn ...
Starmerella aceti f.a., sp nova, an ascomycetous yeast species isolated from fungus garden of the leafcutter ant Acromyrmex balzani
(Soc General Microbiology, 2014-04-01)
A novel yeast-species was recovered from the fungus garden of the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex balzani (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). The growth of the novel yeast species is limited by its ability to metabolize only a few ...

Fungal communities in the garden chamber soils of leaf-cutting ants
(2013-05-27)
Leaf-cutting ants modify the properties of the soil adjacent to their nests. Here, we examined whether such an ant-altered environment impacts the belowground fungal communities. Fungal diversity and community structure ...

Evolução metabólica e potencial biotecnológico de jardins de fungo de formigas Attini avaliados por metatranscriptômica
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2017-07-03)
Formigas cultivadoras de fungo pertencentes à subtribo Attina (subfamília Myrmicinae) caracterizam-se por apresentar um mutualismo obrigatório com fungos basidiomicetos, que elas cultivam nas câmaras de seus ninhos e ...
Starch metabolism in Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, the symbiotic fungus of leaf-cutting ants
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-01-01)
Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, the symbiotic fungus of the leaf-cutting ants, degrades starch, this degradation being supposed to occur in the plant material which leafcutters forage to the nests, generating most of the ...
