A single Streptomyces symbiont makes multiple antifungals to support the fungus farming ant Acromyrmex octospinosus [PDF]
, 2011 Attine ants are dependent on a cultivated fungus for food and use antibiotics produced by symbiotic Actinobacteria as weedkillers in their fungus gardens. Actinobacterial species belonging to the genera Pseudonocardia, Streptomyces and Amycolatopsis have

Ferritin in the Fungus Phycomyces [PDF]
, 1971 The iron-protein ferritin has been purified from mycelium, sporangiophores, and spores of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus. It has a protein-to-iron ratio of 5, a sedimentation coefficient of 55S, a buoyant density in CsCI of 1 .82 g/cm3, and the ...

Rethinking crop-disease management in fungus-growing ants [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 Ant fungus farming has become a prominent model for studying the evolution of mutualistic cooperation, with recent advances in reconstructing the evolutionary origin and elaborations of the symbiosis (1, 2), discovering additional partners and clarifying their interactions (3, 4), and analyzing host–symbiont conflict suppression (5).
