Assessing biosynthetic gene cluster diversity in a multipartite nutritional symbiosis between herbivorous turtle ants and conserved gut symbionts
A. Chanson, C. S. Moreau, C. Duplais
The paper assesses biosynthetic gene cluster diversity in gut symbionts of turtle ants, finding high diversity correlated with host geography and conserved metabolic functions across different host species.
