Figure 1. Survival curves of A. subterraneus subterraneus workers without bacterial biofilms (pre-treated with gentamicin) or with biofims (pre-treated with sterile distilled water) following exposure to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. Error bars: SEM (Adapted from Mattoso et al., ref. Citation10)
Figure 2. Pseudonocardia biofilms on the integument of Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus workers. (A) Young worker with high level of biofilm coverage. (B) Older worker with reduced biofilm coverage on the latero-cervical plates and lower parts of the head capsule.
