Leaf-cutting ant feces LC-MS/MS

Project description:Leaf-cutting ants of the genera Acromyrmex and Atta live in mutualistic symbiosis with a basidiomycete fungus (Leucocoprinus gongylophorus), which they cultivate as fungal gardens in underground nest chambers. The ants provide the fungus with a growth substrate consisting of freshly cut leaf fragments. After new leaf fragments are brought into the nest, the ants chew them into smaller pieces and apply droplets of fecal fluid to the leaf pulp before depositing this mixed substrate in the fungus garden and inoculating it with small tufts of mycelium from older parts of the garden. Previous work has shown that the fecal fluid contains a range of digestive enzymes including proteases, amylases, chitinases, cellulases, pectinases, hemicellulases and laccases, and that most of these enzymes are produced by the fungal symbiont in specialized structures called gongylidia that the ants eat. After ingestion, the enzymes apparently pass unharmed through the alimentary channel of the ants and end up in the fecal fluid. Most likely this complex system is an adaptation of the ant-fungus symbiosis to a herbivorous lifestyle, as the ancient ancestors of the ants and the fungus lived as hunter-gatherers and saprotrophs, respectively. The promise of fecal fluid for getting insight into the molecular adaptations that enables the ant-fungus holosymbiont to live as a herbivore, led us to investigate the fecal fluid proteome using LC-MS/MS in order to get a more comprehensive picture of the repertoire of proteins present.

Transcriptomic basis for reinforcement of elm anti-herbivore defense mediated by insect egg deposition

Project description:In this study we applied RNA-sequencing to a set of larvae-challenged elm trees that had either been untreated before or been exposed to prior egg deposition by elm leaf beetles. This dataset allowed us to characterize the global transcriptional response of egg-primed and non-primed elm trees at different time points after the priming stimulus itself and after the onset of larval feeding.

Glycosidades of Pomacea canaliculata

Project description:In this study, liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to define the occurrence, diversity and origin of glycosyl-hydrolases along the digestive tract of P. canaliculata. Cellulases, hemicellulases, amylases, maltases, fucosidases and galactosidases were identified across the digestive tract. The digestive gland and the contents of the crop and style sac yield a higher diversity of glycosidase-derived peptides.
