“…The advantage of placing these organisms in pure culture is, of course, that almost all aspects of their biology can be studied, which may help to understand how they function in their natural ecological context. Thus, many challenges remain in studying the hundreds of niches on Earth that may be inhabited by fungi, not only to demonstrate their presence in these niches but also to culture them in pure form and store them properly for further study ( 42 ).…”

“…occurred from an O. fungus to another O. fungus, indicating complex evolutionary trajectories of YLS/Ophiocordyceps existed in different host insects. It has been reported that most insects are associated with fungi in interactions that range from pathogenicity to mutualism from the host perspective [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Future studies on the phylogeny of YLS and allied Ophiocordyceps in cicadas and other sap-feeding insects may provide novel insights into the complex evolutionary processes of YLS and their host insects.…”

Nutritional symbionts of sap-sucking auchenorrhynchan insects of Hemiptera are usually confined to the bacteriomes and/or fat bodies. Knowledge is limited about the distribution of microbial symbionts in other organs. We investigated the distribution of obligate symbionts in the salivary glands, gut tissues, reproductive organs, bacteriomes, and fat bodies of two cicada species, Karenia caelatata and Tanna sp., using integrated methods, including a modified fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique, which can greatly enhance the FISH signal intensity of related symbionts. We revealed that Candidatus Sulcia muelleri (Sulcia) and a yeast-like fungal symbiont (YLS) were harbored in the bacteriomes and fat bodies, respectively. Both of Sulcia and YLS can be transmitted to the offspring via ovaries, forming a “symbiont ball” in each egg. Neither Sulcia nor YLS were harbored in the salivary glands, gut tissues and testes. Phylogenetic trees of both Sulcia and cicadas confirm that K. caelatata is a member of the tribe Dundubiini, and the tribe Leptopsaltriini that comprises Ta. sp. is not monophyletic. YLS of K. caelatata is embedded inside the lineage of YLS of Dundubiini, whereas YLS of Ta. sp. is closely related to the clade comprising both cicada-parasitizing fungi Ophiocordyceps and YLS of Mogannia conica and Meimuna mongolica, suggesting an evolutionary replacement of YLS in Ta. sp. from an Ophiocordyceps fungus to another Ophiocordyceps fungus. Our results provide new insights into the symbiosis between Cicadidae and related symbionts. Modification through the addition of helpers and heat shock greatly enhanced the FISH signal intensity of YLS, which may provide guidelines for enhancement of the hybridization signal intensity of other symbiont(s) in the FISH experiments.
