Resumo
Polybia ignobilis é uma vespa social que apresenta uma alimentação variável e inespecífica, consumindo outros insetos, pedaços de animais mortos, néctar, polpa de madeira e água. Dentro do ninho ocorre a trofalaxia, onde o alimento é distribuído entre os indivíduos da colônia através de secreção labial, podendo ocorrer entre adulto e larva ou apenas entre adultos, propiciando a dispersão de micro-organismos. A associação entre leveduras e insetos pode ser considerada transitória, onde os insetos podem atuar como vetores na dispersão desses micro-organismos sem benefício nutricional; por outro lado, também pode ser considerada como uma associação benéfica, onde o inseto utiliza as leveduras como complemento alimentar. O presente estudo teve como objetivos: caracterizar a comunidade de leveduras associadas à P. ignobilis; verificar se há relação entre a distribuição das leveduras nas diferentes castas da vespa e contribuir com a formação de um banco temático de leveduras isoladas de insetos sociais. Indivíduos do ninho de P. ignobilis e amostras de mel foram coletados no campus da UNESP - Rio Claro. O isolamento e identificação das estirpes foi feita de acordo com a metodologia clássica descrita em YARROW (1998). Foram isoladas 167 estirpes, sendo 59 do primeiro ninho e 108 do segundo. Após uma seleção baseada em análises morfológicas, bioquímicas e perfil de bandas de microsatélites (MSP-PCR) estirpes representativas de cada grupo, bem como as estirpes únicas foram identificadas pelo sequênciamento da região D1/D2 do rDNA 26S. Os resultados revelaram a prevalência no primeiro ninho dos gêneros Candida, Cryptococcus, Hanseniaspora e Rhodotorula, compreendendo 45% do total das estirpes, sendo as espécies mais freqüentes Candida azyma, Candida chrysomelidarum, Cryptococcus liquefaciens e Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. No segundo ninho, as espécies...
Polybia ignobilis is a social wasp that features a variable and unspecific alimentation, eats other insects, bits of dead animals, nectar, wood pulp and water. Inside the nest occurs trofalaxis, where food is distributed among individuals of the colony through labial secretion, it can occur between adult and larva or adults only, being vectors in the dispersion of microorganisms. The association between yeasts and insects can be considered temporary, where the insects serve as vectors in the dispersal of these micro-organisms without nutritional benefit; on the other hand, can also be regarded as a beneficial association, where the insect uses the yeasts as a food supplement. This present study aimed to characterize the yeast community associated with P. ignobilis; verify whether exists a relation between the distribution of yeasts in different varieties of wasp and contribute to the formation of a thematic database of yeasts isolated from social insects. Individuals from the nest of P. ignobilis and honey samples were collected on the campus of UNESP - Rio Claro. The isolation and identification of strains was made according to classical methodology described in YARROW (1998). We isolated 167 strains, 59 and 108 of the first and second nest. After a selection based on morphological, biochemical and microsatellite band profiles (MSP-PCR) representative strains of each group as well as unique strains were identified by sequencing the D1/D2 region of 26S rDNA. The results revealed the prevalence in the first nest of Candida, Cryptococcus, Hanseniaspora and Rhodotorula, comprising 45% of all strains, being the most frequent species Candida azyma, Candida chrysomelidarum, Cryptococcus liquefaciens and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. In the second nest of the species that prevailed were Aureobasidium pullulans, Meyerozyma guillermondii. Some strains may constitute new... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
