[Gut fungal community composition and metabolic potential in honeybees and bumblebees].
Abstract
strains exhibited significant enrichment in CAZyme families, particularly glycoside hydrolases (GH) and glycosyltransferases (GT). In addition, some strains possess biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites, such as nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and β- lactones, which suggested potential roles in microbial competition and fungus-host interactions. This study uncovers the diversity and functions of fungal communities in bee guts, enriching our understanding of insect microbiomes and providing a theoretical foundation for pollinator health maintenance and microbiota-targeted interventions.
