Metagenomic sequencing of the gut microbial communities of two closely related bee species, the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the Eastern honey bee (Apis cerana), show that organisms with similar characteristics can harbor unexpected differences in their microbiomes.
对两种密切相关的蜜蜂物种(西方蜜蜂(Apis mellifera)和东方蜜蜂(Apis cerana))的肠道微生物群落进行宏基因组测序,结果表明,具有相似特征的生物在其微生物组中可能存在意想不到的差异。
