(A) General range of pine-boring insects D. ponderosae, S. noctilio, and D. frontalis in North America based on survey maps in the NAPIS database. Collection sites for individual insects and their associated Streptomyces strains are indicated. (B) Streptomyces organisms from these pine-boring insects were grown in minimal medium with cellulose filter paper as the sole carbon source. (C) Quantification of cellulose filter paper deconstruction in cultures grown for 10 days. Data represent the means ± SDs from at least three experiments; lowercase letters represent statistically significant differences between strains (Tukey-Kramer method; P < 0.01).
