- W2590975791 abstract "Background. Interactions between eukaryotic amoebae and bacteria are understudied and important. Bacteria inside of amoebae are protected from external forces including antibiotics. An excellent model for bacteria-amoeba interactions is the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and its associated bacteria. A third of wild-collected clones of the soil-dwelling amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum exhibit a suite of characteristics that make them simple farmers of bacteria. They carry bacteria internally through the social spore-making stage. They then release these bacteria to grow and subsequently eat them, prudently stopping before they are entirely consumed so some bacteria can be carried to the next generation. D. discoideum defend their food bacteria with other inedible bacteria that produce compounds toxic to non-farmers. Both carried bacteria and social amoeba hosts have demonstrated co-evolved characteristics. Most farmer clones discovered to date carry inedible Burkholderia in addition to food bacteria, but it is not clear whether or not a preponderance of naïve bacteria might induce the farming state by overwhelming the phagocytic actions of the host amoebae. In this study we address this question with D. discoideum clones that naturally carry bacteria and those that do not. Will naïve bacteria in large numbers succeed in colonizing the amoebae? Methods. We grew five non-farmer clones and five farmer clones of wild-collected Dictyostelium discoideum on three different concentrations of a highly palatable bacterial food source , Klebsiella pneumoniae . We then tested them to see if they carried bacteria through the social stage. Results. We found that bacterial density did not have a significant effect on whether or not the clones carried bacteria through the social stage. Even those grown in very dense bacterial cultures were able to shed them successfully unless they were also carrying Burkholderia. Discussion. Our results indicate that even a preponderance of food bacteria cannot overwhelm the ability of social amoebae to digest and not carry bacteria. Apparently, only the inedible Burkholderia have that effect. This points to the importance of understanding co-infection with multiple bacteria because those that cannot induce carriage can nevertheless become carried, foiling digestive processes, but only in the presence of another bacterium. Future studies of host bacteria interactions should consider using multiple bacteria simultaneously." @default.
