Insights into the bacterial symbiont diversity in spiders

Abstract: Most spiders are natural enemies of pests, and it is beneficial for the biological control of pests to learn the relationships between symbionts and their spider hosts. Research on the bacterial communities of insects has been conducted recently, but only a few studies have addressed the bacterial communities of spiders. To obtain a complete overview of the microbial communities of spiders, we examined eight species of spider (Pirata subpiraticus, Agelena difficilis, Artema atlanta, Nurscia albofasciata, Agele… Show more

“…Wolbachia and Rickettsiella are endosymbionts existing in spider hosts (Duron, Bouchon, et al, ; Goodacre et al, ), and the relative abundance of these endosymbionts varies between spider hosts (Zhang et al, ). In this study, the relative abundance of Wolbachia and Rickettsiella in N .…”

“…Wolbachia and Rickettsiella are endosymbionts existing in spider hosts (Duron, Bouchon, et al, 2008;Goodacre et al, 2006), and the relative abundance of these endosymbionts varies between spider hosts (Zhang et al, 2018). In this study, the relative abundance of Wolbachia and Rickettsiella in N. albofasciata (spinning spider) was significantly higher than that in P. laura (without web) and P. astrigera (without web) Endosymbionts are widely distributed in the organs and tissues of their arthropod hosts (Pietri, DeBruhl, & Sullivan, 2016;Sicard, Dittmer, Grève, Bouchon, & Braquart-Varnier, 2014), and whether the high abundance distribution of endosymbionts in the intestinal tissues correlates with the hosts' digestive function and immune defense is interesting.…”

“…Also, spiders often feed irregularly, leading to pronounced environmental fluctuations in their gut lumen, which could encumber the establishment of a stable microbiome (Vanthournout & Hendrickx, ). However, recent work suggests the presence of typical insect gut microbial taxa in the digestive tract of spiders (Zhang, Yun, Hu, & Peng, ), possibly resulting from a temporary recruitment of prey‐derived taxa. Considering this background, we expect that the spiders lack a stable core microbiome and instead possess a highly transient microbiome, whose assembly is dictated by dietary influences.…”

“…Maternally transmitted endosymbiotic bacteria are common in arthropods, and are 35 estimated to infect nearly half of all arthropod species [1][2][3][4]. These inherited endosymbionts 36 frequently manipulate host reproduction to promote symbiont transmission and spread in the host 37 population [5].…”
