Leucoagaricus gongylophorus uses leaf-cutting ants to vector proteolytic enzymes towards new plant substrate. [PDF]

open access: yesISME J, 2014
The mutualism between leaf-cutting ants and their fungal symbionts revolves around processing and inoculation of fresh leaf pulp in underground fungus gardens, mediated by ant fecal fluid deposited on the newly added plant substrate.

Ant mediated redistribution of a xyloglucanase enzyme in fungus gardens of Acromyrmex echinatior. [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Microbiol, 2016
BACKGROUND: Xyloglucan is an important component in plant cell walls that herbivores cannot digest without microbial symbionts. Leaf-cutting ants are major insect herbivores in the Neo-Tropics that rely on fungus-garden enzymes for degrading plant cell ...

Leaf-cutting ant fungi produce cell wall degrading pectinase complexes reminiscent of phytopathogenic fungi. [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biol, 2010
Background Leaf-cutting (attine) ants use their own fecal material to manure fungus gardens, which consist of leaf material overgrown by hyphal threads of the basidiomycete fungus Leucocoprinus gongylophorus that lives in symbiosis with the ants ...

Genome Analysis of Two <i>Pseudonocardia</i> Phylotypes Associated with <i>Acromyrmex</i> Leafcutter Ants Reveals Their Biosynthetic Potential. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Microbiol, 2016
The attine ants of South and Central America are ancient farmers, having evolved a symbiosis with a fungal food crop >50 million years ago. The most evolutionarily derived attines are the Atta and Acromyrmex leafcutter ants, which harvest fresh leaves to

Competition-based screening helps to secure the evolutionary stability of a defensive microbiome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Background: The cuticular microbiomes of Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ants pose a conundrum in microbiome biology because they are freely colonisable, and yet the prevalence of the vertically transmitted bacteria Pseudonocardia, which contributes to the ...

Density Changes in the Optimized CSSX Solvent System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Density increases in caustic-side solvent extraction (CSSX) solvent have been observed in separate experimental programs performed by different groups of researchers. Such changes indicate a change in chemical composition.

Reconstructing the relatedness of cooperatively breeding queens in the Panamanian leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The evolution of permanent inquiline social parasites in ants has been conjectured to be facilitated by secondary poly gyny, that is, the re-adoption of new queens into existing mature colonies.
