摘要: The yeast communities associated with the stingless bees Tetragonisca angustula, Melipona quadrifasciata and Frieseomelitta varia were studied. T. angustula F. showed a strong association Starmerella meliponinorum. M. more frequently carried species related to Candida apicola, but also vectored low numbers of S. Some yeasts isolated from adult typical known occur in flowers. Other found those phylloplane. meliponinorum C. apicola complex, part clade, may have mutualistic relationship Many that group are often or substrates visited by bees, suggesting mutually beneficial interaction exists between them.
