Sequences matching microbes, and a mite, associated with F. exsecta, identified from GenBank BLAST searches.

Total expression value represents the combined expression value for all ages and castes, from both FIMM and BGI data.Intracellular microbes are known parasites or have at least one stage of their lifecycle inside the host. Extracellular microbes do not usually have lifecycles within hosts, but can in some cases be opportunistic pathogens. Unknown is used for yeast, these are pervasive in environments that contain moisture and carbohydrate sources, and may form symbiotic relationships with ants in their guts, or they can grow in the nest material, or be carried in via aphid dew that ants feed on.
