Nutritional resources of the yeast symbiont cultivated by the lizard beetle Doubledaya bucculenta in bamboos
Abstract Symbiotic fungi of wood-inhabiting insects are often considered to aid wood digestion of host insects when the associated fungi can assimilate wood-associated indigestible materials. In most cases, however, the components of wood that are utilized by fungal symbionts remain poorly understoo...
