Gilliamella apicola
Pseudomonadota |
Apis melliferaHymenoptera |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Gilliamella apicola carries the gene for the desaturase FADS2, which is able to metabolize polyunsaturated fatty acids from pollen and synthesize endocannabinoid, a lipogenic neuroactive substance, thereby modulating reward learning and memory in honeybees. |
