Source text - English Herbivorous turtle ants obtain essential nutrients from a conserved nitrogen-recycling gut microbiome
Nitrogen acquisition is a major challenge for herbivorous animals, and the repeated origins of herbivory across the ants have raised expectations that nutritional symbionts have shaped their diversification. Direct evidence for N provisioning by internally housed symbionts is rare in animals; among the ants, it has been documented for just one lineage. In this study we dissect functional contributions by bacteria from a conserved, multi-partite gut symbiosis in herbivorous Cephalotes ants through in vivo experiments, metagenomics, and in vitro assays. Gut bacteria recycle urea, and likely uric acid, using recycled N to synthesize essential amino acids that are acquired by hosts in substantial quantities. Specialized core symbionts of 17 studied Cephalotes species encode the pathways directing these activities, and several recycle N in vitro. These findings point to a highly efficient N economy, and a nutritional mutualism preserved for millions of years through the derived behaviors and gut anatomy of Cephalotes ants.

La adquisición de nitrógeno es un gran reto para los animales herbívoros, y los reiterados orígenes del herbivorismo entre las hormigas han aumentado las expectativas que los simbiontes nutricionales han formado su diversificación. Evidencia directa demuestra que el abastecimiento de nitrógeno a través de simbiontes almacenados internamente es inusual en animales; entre las hormigas, se ha documentado de solo un linaje. En este estudio analizamos minuciosamente las contribuciones funcionales de una bacteria conservada en una simbiosis intestinal multipartita, encontrada en Cephalotes herbívoros a través de experimentos in vivo, metagenómica y análisis in vitro. Usando nitrógeno reciclado la bacteria intestinal recicla la urea y probablemente el ácido úrico para sintetizar aminoácidos esenciales, que son adquiridos por los receptores en cantidades considerables. Simbiontes abdominales especializadas de 17 especies de Cephalotes descifran los caminos que dirigen estas actividades y varios reciclados de nitrógeno in nitro. Estos hallazgos apuntan a una economía de nitrógeno altamente eficiente y a un mutualismo nutricional preservado por millones de años a través de comportamientos desarrollados y a la anatomía intestinal de las hormigas Cephalotes.
