Comparison of radial growth rate of the mutualistic fungus of Atta sexdens rubropilosa forel in two culture media
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2010)
In vitro culture of the mutualistic fungus of leaf-cutting ants is troublesome due to its low growth rate, which leads to storage problems and contaminants accumulation. This paper aims at comparing the radial growth rate ...
Growth of populations and the fungus garden of Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) response to foraged substrates
(California State University, 2008-01-01)
The leaf-cutting ants forage diverse plants for cultivation of symbiotic fungus, which is a primary food source for larvae in the colony. Previous studies have suggested that continuous offering of a single vegetal species ...

Nest Architecture and Colony Growth of Atta bisphaerica Grass-Cutting Ants
(Mdpi, 2020-11-01)
Simple Summary Atta bisphaerica grass-cutting ants build giant nests with hundreds or thousands of large chambers. Here, we assessed whether the total volume of fungus chambers and other nest parameters grow at close or ...
Fungus-growing ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Santa Catarina Island, Brazil: patterns of occurrence
(2000-06-01)
A taxonomic survey on fungus-growing ants (Attini) was made at 14 beaches on Santa Catarina Island (SC), Brazil. The samplings were manual, in soil or litterfall, in the following habitats: sandy beach, herbaceous vegetation ...
The effect of gene tubC on the vegetative growth of benomyl-resistant strains of Aspergillus nidulans
(1994-06-29)
Two benomyl-resistant mutants, benD3 tubC41 and benD4 tubC42, of Aspergillus nidulans were isolated after UV treatment. The tubC mutations permitted good conidiation of these strains in culture media containing benomyl and ...
