Abstract:
Bees are one of the best-known and, at the same time, perhaps the most enigmatic insects on our planet, known for their organization and social structure, being essential for the pollination of agricultural crops and several other plants, playing an essential role in food production and the balance of ecosystems, being associated with the production of high-value-added inputs, and a unique universe in relation to bees\' microbiota. In this review, we summarize information regarding on different varieties of bees, with emphasis on their specificity related to microbial variations. Noteworthy are fructophilic bacteria, a lesser-known bacterial group, which use fructose fermentation as their main source of energy, with some strains being closely related to bees\' health status. The beneficial properties of fructophilic bacteria may be extendable to humans and other animals as probiotics. In addition, their biotechnological potential may ease the development of new-generation antimicrobials with applications in biopreservation. The concept of \"One Health\" brings together fundamental and applied research with the aim of clarifying that the connections between the different components of ecosystems must be considered part of a mega-structure, with bees being an iconic example in that the healthy functionality of their microbiota is directly and indirectly related to agricultural production, bee health, quality of bee products, and the functional prosperity for humans and other animals. In fact, good health of bees is clearly related to the stable functionality of ecosystems and indirectly relates to humans\' wellbeing, a concept of the \"One Health\".
摘要:
蜜蜂是最著名的蜜蜂之一,同时,也许是我们星球上最神秘的昆虫,以他们的组织和社会结构而闻名,对农作物和其他几种植物的授粉至关重要,在粮食生产和生态系统平衡方面发挥着重要作用,与高附加值投入品的生产相关联,以及与蜜蜂微生物群相关的独特宇宙。在这次审查中,我们总结了关于不同品种蜜蜂的信息,强调它们与微生物变异有关的特异性。值得注意的是嗜果糖细菌,一个鲜为人知的细菌群,它们使用果糖发酵作为主要能量来源,一些菌株与蜜蜂的健康状况密切相关。嗜果糖细菌的有益特性可以作为益生菌扩展到人类和其他动物。此外,它们的生物技术潜力可能会缓解新一代抗菌药物在生物保存中的应用。“一个健康”的概念汇集了基础和应用研究,目的是澄清生态系统不同组成部分之间的联系必须被视为巨型结构的一部分,蜜蜂是一个标志性的例子,因为它们的微生物群的健康功能与农业生产直接和间接相关,蜜蜂健康,蜂产品的质量,以及人类和其他动物的功能繁荣。事实上,蜜蜂的健康显然与生态系统的稳定功能有关,并间接关系到人类的福祉,“一个健康”的概念。
