Rampant Host Switching Shaped the Termite Gut Microbiome
Original language description
The gut microbiota of animals exert major effects on host biology 1. Although horizontal transfer is generally considered the prevalent route for the acquisition of gut bacteria in mammals 2, some bacterial lineages have co-speciated with their hosts on timescales of several million years 3. Termites harbor a complex gut microbiota, and their advanced social behavior provides the potential for long-term vertical symbiont transmission, and co-evolution of gut symbionts and host 4-6. Despite clear evolutionary patterns in the gut microbiota of termites 7, a consensus on how microbial communities were assembled during termite diversification has yet to be reached. Although some studies have concluded that vertical transmission has played a major role 8, 9, others indicate that diet and gut microenvironment have been the primary determinants shaping microbial communities in termite guts 7, 10. To address this issue, we examined the gut microbiota of 94 termite species, through 16S rRNA metabarcoding. We
