Honey bee genetics shape the bee gut microbiota at the strain level
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"The honey bee gut microbiome has a critical influence on bee health and is transmitted among members of a colony through social interactions. The bee microbiome is made up of a core set of bacterial groups that show high diversity among individuals at the strain level. While this variation has been shown to be clearly associated with numerous environmental factors, bee genetics may also play an important role. Researchers recently used DNA sequencing techniques to better understand how bee genetics affect gut microbiome structure. The team examined the genomes of four subspecies of lab-reared honey bees with those of their associated microbiomes. They noted that the abundance of most core gut microbiota members was influenced by host subspecies and also found a clear link between a Bifidobacterium strain in the gut and brain neurotransmitter and gene expression patterns..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Strain-specific profiling of the honeybee gut microbiome with the help of microfluidic droplets

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"The gut microbiomes of animals are diverse microbial communities that dramatically affect host health and physiology. Modern laboratory techniques have allowed researchers to learn much about these microbiomes. Unfortunately, the common sequencing and culture techniques often struggle to distinguish between strains within a bacterial species. But microfluidic droplets could be a way to sidestep such limitations and distinguish between strains in a high volume, efficient way. To test this, a research team developed a microfluidic platform that encapsulates individual bacterial cells and cultivates them in different growth media, and they used it to successfully profile the honeybee microbiome at a strain-specific level. Strain diversity is particularly important for honeybees due to their uniquely simple and stable bacterial community. Compared to traditional gut samples, this technique detected more strain diversity in some bacterial species..."
