Bacterial endosymbionts can provide benefits for their eukaryotic hosts, but it is often unclear if endosymbionts benefit from these relationships. The social amoebaDictyostelium discoideumassociates with three species ofParaburkholderiaendosymbionts, includingP. agricolarisandP. hayleyella. These endosymbionts can be costly to the host but are beneficial in certain contexts because they allowD. discoideumto carry prey bacteria through the dispersal stage. In experiments where no other species are present,P. hayleyellabenefits fromD. discoideumwhileP. agricolarisdoes not. However, the presence of other species may influence this symbiosis. We tested ifP. agricolarisandP. hayleyellabenefit fromD. discoideumin the context of resource competition withKlebsiella pneumoniae, the typical laboratory prey ofD. discoideum. WithoutD. discoideum, K. pneumoniaedepressed the growth of bothParaburkholderiasymbionts, consistent with competition.P. hayleyellawas more harmed by interspecific competition thanP. agricolaris. We found thatP. hayleyellawas rescued from competition byD. discoideum, whileP. agricolariswas not. This may be becauseP. hayleyellais more specialized as an endosymbiont; it has a highly reduced genome compared toP. agricolarisand may have lost genes relevant for resource competition outside of its host.
