蜜蜂肠道菌群定殖研究进展

Advances in research of colonization of gut microbiota in the honeybee

摘要:

肠道菌群在其宿主健康中发挥着各种各样的重要功能。蜜蜂是高度社会化的昆虫，其肠道菌群与大多数昆虫明显不同，由兼性厌氧和微好氧的细菌组成，具有高度保守性和专门的核心肠道微生物群。近年来的研究表明，蜜蜂肠道微生物群在代谢、免疫功能、生长发育以及保护机体免受病原体侵袭等方面起着重要作用，并已证实肠道微生物在蜜蜂健康和疾病中起着重要作用，肠道微生物群的破坏对蜜蜂健康会产生不利影响。本文综述了蜜蜂肠道菌群的特征及菌群定殖研究进展，介绍了蜜蜂的日龄、群体、季节等对蜜蜂肠道菌群定殖的影响，探讨了宿主的功能和新陈代谢对肠道菌群的影响。

Abstract:

The gut microbiota plays various important roles in the health of the host. Bees are highly socialized insects. The gut microbiotas of bees are distinctly different from most insects. They are composed of facultative anaerobic and micro-aerobic bacteria. They maintain a highly conservative and specific core microbiome. Recent studies show that gut microbiota of bees plays vital roles in metabolism, immune function, growth and development, and protection from pathogens. Gut microbiota plays an important role in bee health and disease. The destruction of gut microbiota will have adverse effects on bee health. In this paper, we review the characteristics and advances in research of colonization of microbiota in the honeybee. We address the effects of age, colony and season on the gut microbiota of honeybee, and the effects of host function and metabolism on the gut microbiota.
