  • Title: Role of host nutrition in symbiont regulation: impact of dietary nitrogen on proliferation of obligate and facultative bacterial endosymbionts of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum.
    Author: Wilkinson TL, Koga R, Fukatsu T.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2007 Feb; 73(4):1362-6. PubMed ID: 17158610.
    Abstract:
    The impact of host nutrition on symbiont regulation in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum was investigated. The population density of the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola positively correlated with dietary nitrogen levels. In contrast, the population density of the facultative symbiont Serratia symbiotica increased in aphids reared on low-nitrogen diets, indicating distinct regulatory mechanisms in the same insect host.
