Results: Our findings indicated a noteworthy decline in soil bacterial α-diversity as tree species richness increased from monoculture to 2- and 4- tree species mixtures, but a significant increase in archaeal α-diversity. (knaw.nl)
The increase in tree species richness greatly reduced the variability in bacterial community composition and the complexity of co-occurrence network, but this effect was marginal for archaea. (knaw.nl)

Obligate2
For instance, ancient mutualistic relationships with primary or obligate bacterial endosymbionts that provide missing essential amino acids to phloem-based diets are common among plant sap-sucking insects (e.g., psyllids, whiteflies, mealybugs and aphids) ( Baumann, 2005 ). (peerj.com)
Most are obligate endoparasites of animals, [3] except Nephromyces , a symbiont in marine animals, originally classified as a chytrid fungus, [4] and the Chromerida , some of which are photosynthetic partners of corals. (eol.org)
Ecology2
Mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal relationships can take place concurrently and can significantly influence the insect host ecology ( Toft & Andersson, 2010 ). (peerj.com)
Analysis of insect-microbiota interactions has contributed to a better understanding of insect ecology and explains its achievements in nature ( 11 ). (matthey.com)
Interactions1
Aphids have become a model system of insect-symbiont interactions. (peerj.com)
Populations1
We used a 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing approach to study the microbiome of aphids in order to describe the bacterial community diversity in introduced populations of the cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi in Chile (South America). (peerj.com)
Soil1
F. candida (Fig. 1 ) is a soil-dwelling invertebrate that belongs to the hexapod subclass Collembola (springtails), which shares the most recent common ancestor with insects [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Hosts4
Bacterial endosymbionts that produce important phenotypic effects on their hosts are common among plant sap-sucking insects. (peerj.com)
However, secondary endosymbionts may produce ecologically important phenotypic effects on their insect hosts. (peerj.com)
We cured and cross-infected amoebae hosts with different symbiont association histories and then compared host responses to each symbiont type. (elifesciences.org)
However, natural B. hayleyella hosts suffered fewer fitness costs when reinfected with B. hayleyella, indicating that they have evolved mechanisms to tolerate their symbiont. (elifesciences.org)
Productivity2
Insects, the most successful group of animals in terms of both diversity and survival, are a sustainable alternative for biotransformation processes due to their low environmental impact and high productivity ( 5 - 9 ). (matthey.com)
Here, we investigated how tree and shrub richness affects stand-level tree productivity by regulating bacterial and archaeal community diversity and composition. (knaw.nl)
Pathogens2
Over the past several decades, forests worldwide have experienced increases in biotic disturbances caused by insects and plant pathogens-a trend that is expected to continue with climate warming. (researchgate.net)
Insect intestinal microbiota is a system inhabited by various microorganisms and enzymes that affect food digestion, defense against pathogens, host nutrition and immunity ( 12 ). (matthey.com)
Abundant1
This is especially true when there are factors operating at different levels, for example when an abundant and diverse collective of entities includes components that are variously neutral, beneficial, and detrimental to a host. (evolverzone.com)
Processes3
Due to the enzymes and microorganisms in their intestinal microbiota, the biotransformation processes of insects are capable of converting wastes, organic materials and residues into valuable products that can be used for various industrial applications such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and functional foods. (matthey.com)
From a sustainability perspective, utilisation of the microorganisms or enzymes isolated from these microorganisms available in the microbiota of insects may allow novel insect-based biotransformation processes that promise a more sustainable world and novel green technologies. (matthey.com)
In this review, biotransformation processes that utilise the insect gut as a bioresource will be discussed. (matthey.com)
