TL;DR
This paper introduces a collection of gut bacteria from wild and captive bumble bees, providing insights into their microbial diversity.
Contribution
The study provides a new culture collection of gut bacteria from Bombus impatiens with detailed culture conditions and genetic data.
Findings
A diverse range of bacterial taxa was isolated from wild and captive bumble bees.
Full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained for each isolate.
Culture conditions for each bacterial isolate were documented.
Abstract
Gut bacteria are important to the ecology and health of social bees. We present a collection of 55 isolates, representing a diverse range of bacterial taxa, from wild- and captive-reared bumble bees (Bombus impatiens). Culture conditions and full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences are provided.
Genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations and cell lines named across the full text — each resolved to its canonical identifier and authoritative record.
