The manuscript explores the secretion bacterial community of carrion and burying beetles of the central plains of North America. A core secretion microbiome of 11 genera is identified. The host subfamily, secretion type, and collection locality significantly affects the secretion microbiome. Future culture-dependent studies from silphid secretions may identify novel antimicrobials and nontoxic compounds that can act as meat preservatives or sources for antimicrobials.
本文探究了北美的中原地区食尸甲虫和埋葬甲的分泌细菌群落。鉴定出了一个由 11 个属组成的核心分泌微生物组。宿主亚科、分泌类型和采集地点对分泌微生物组有显著影响。从螲蟷科分泌物中进行的未来依赖于培养的研究可能会鉴定出新型的抗菌剂和无毒化合物,它们可以作为肉类防腐剂或抗菌剂的来源。
