Insect-microbe mutualism without vertical transmission: A Stinkbug acquires a beneficial gut symbiont from the environment every generation
Article Abstract:
The transmission mode and fitness effects of the Burkholderia symbiont in Riptortus clavatus are examined. Findings reveal that Riptortus clavatus is able to postnatally acquire symbiont of a beneficial nature from the environment every generation.
