Strain-level analysis reveals the vertical microbial transmission during the life cycle of bumblebee

Abstract Background Microbial acquisition and development of the gut microbiota impact the establishment of a healthy host-microbes symbiosis. Compared with other animals, the eusocial bumblebees and honeybees possess a simple, recurring, and similar set of gut microbiota. However, all bee gut phylo...
