Disentangling metabolic functions of bacteria in the honey bee gut

L. Kesnerova, R. A. T. Mars, K. M. Ellegaard, M. Troilo, U. Sauer, P. Engel

This study uses untargeted metabolomics to determine the metabolic contributions of individual bacteria in the honey bee gut microbiota, revealing independent metabolic niches and key roles in pollen digestion and host hormone production.
