摘　　要：昆虫与其体内细菌的互利共生关系是近十余年来生物学家关注的热点领域,也是研究物种间协同进化的理想模型。Blochmannia是蚁科弓背蚁属Camponotus蚂蚁体内的初级内共生菌,作为最早被描述的动物与细菌之间的共生关系,Blochmannia在帮助宿主蚂蚁合成食物中所缺少的必需营养物质、维持生长发育、繁殖和营养代谢等方面发挥重要作用。本文从Blochmannia的分布规律、母系传播、基因组特征及其功能等方面进行综述,以期为相关研究提供参考和借鉴。The mutualism between insects and bacteria,which is an ideal model to study the co-evolution between species,is arousing strong interest from biologists in the recent decade.Blochmannia is the primary endosymbiont in Camponotus ants of Formicidae,and represents the earliest described endosymbiosis between animals and bacteria.Blochmannia is essential for supplementing the nutrients lacking in the host diet,and also plays a key role in maintaining the development and growth,reproduction and nutrition metabolism for the host ants.In our paper,the research progress of the localization,maternal transmission,genomics and functions of Blochmannia are reviewed,which hopefully will provide references for the related research.
