- Abstract
Ragweed weevils, Lixus scrobicollis Boheman, were collected from leaves and stems of giant or great ragweed, Ambrosia trifida L., growing at the Trinity River Audubon Center in Dallas, TX. Examination of the external anatomy of the weevils with a scanning electron microscope revealed a bacterial symbiont. The results of biochemical testing suggested the bacterium was Bacillus endophyticus sp. nov.
