Symbiotic interactions between microorganisms and social insects have been described as crucial for the maintenance of these multitrophic systems, observed stingless bee Scaptotrigona depilis yeast Zygosaccharomyces sp. SDBC30G1. The larvae S. ingest fungal filaments SDBC30G1 to obtain ergosterol, which is precursor biosynthesis ecdysteroids that modulate insect metamorphosis. In this work, we ...
