Résumé :
|
Aposgmbiotic pea aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum (i.e. aphids lacking functional symbiotic bacteria) were generated by treatment with the antibiotic rifampicin, Eight-day-old aposymbiotic aphids produced honeydew containing 16-30 mol% glutamine, while the honeydew of symbiotic aphids (containing bacteria) contain
