Minimum information about a single amplified genome (MISAG) and a metagenome-assembled genome (MIMAG) of bacteria and archaea
We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

Gut microbial communities of social bees
The gut microbiota can have profound effects on hosts, but the study of these relationships in
humans is challenging. The specialized gut microbial community of honey bees is similar to …

Dynamic microbiome evolution in social bees
The highly social (eusocial) corbiculate bees, comprising the honey bees, bumble bees, and
stingless bees, are ubiquitous insect pollinators that fulfill critical roles in ecosystem services …

Metabolism of toxic sugars by strains of the bee gut symbiont Gilliamella apicola
Social bees collect carbohydrate-rich food to support their colonies, and yet, certain
carbohydrates present in their diet or produced through the breakdown of pollen are toxic to …

Community dynamics in structure and function of honey bee gut bacteria in response to winter dietary shift
Temperate honey bees (Apis mellifera) are challenged by low temperatures and abrupt
dietary shifts associated with behavioral changes during winter. Case studies have revealed …

Microbiome structure influences infection by the parasite Crithidia bombi in bumble bees
Recent declines in bumble bee populations are of great concern and have prompted critical
evaluations of the role of pathogen introductions and host resistance in bee health. One …
