Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, one of the predominant microbial group, fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB), were isolated from honeybee stomach. Our genome analysis revealed that the microorganisms, which inhabit in flowers and fruits as well, have adapted to their habitats at genomic level. We also found a FLAB strain which showed antagonistic activity against a honeybee foulbrood pathogen. Honeybees are important pollinators for crops, although a colony number of the honeybees is continuously decreasing in the world. This would be a possible trigger for global food crisis. The present study will be helpful to alleviate the crisis indirectly by health promotion of honeybees.
