苏黎世ETH的研究人员发现了内生菌——生活在真菌中的细菌——的垂直传播过程,这对两代人都有好处。 Researchers at ETH Zurich have uncovered a process of vertical transmission of endosymbionts—bacteria living inside fungi—that benefits both generations. 通过将Micetohabitans细菌注射到真菌Rhizopus微生物中, 他们发现这些细菌是通过菌传给后代的。 By injecting Mycetohabitans bacteria into the fungus Rhizopus microsporus, they found these bacteria were passed to offspring via spores. 最初,这降低了真菌的体质,但随着时间的推移,这种关系演变成互利的关系,突出了内生进化成功的潜力。 Initially, this reduced the fungi's fitness, but over time, the relationship evolved into a mutually beneficial one, highlighting the potential for successful endosymbiotic evolution.
