Whole genome analyses of toxicants tolerance genes of Apis mellifera gut-derived Enterococcus faecium strains
Abstract Background Because of its social nature, the honeybee is regularly exposed to environmental toxicants such as heavy metals and xenobiotics. These toxicants are known to exert strong selective pressure on the gut microbiome’s structure and diversity. For example, resistant microbial members...
