Bombyx mori

Lepidoptera

Bacteria

could produce a secreted chitinolytic lysozyme (termed Msp1) to damage fungal cell walls,completely inhibit the spore germination of fungal entomopathogens Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana

Tuta absoluta

Lepidoptera

Bacteria
Extracellular

Individual exposure of B. thuringiensis isolates to P. absoluta revealed high susceptibility of the pest and could potentially be used to develop effective, safe and affordable microbial pesticides for the management of P. absoluta.

Candida

Ascomycota

Fungi
Extracellular

Candida can provide amino acids, sterols and other substances for the host and can produce a variety of detoxification enzymes to make the BPHs immune to insecticides, mycotoxins and phytotoxins

2024

Amycolatopsis

Actinomycetota

Trachymyrmex

Hymenoptera

Bacteria
Extracellular

produce antibiotic EC0-0501 that has strong activity against ant-associated Actinobacteria and may also play a role in bacterial competition in this niche

2023

Fungi
Extracellular

this strain could generate antibacterial secondary metabolites, which could potently inhibit gram-positive bacteria growth in vitro

2023

Pantoea 1C4

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

plays both a nutritional role, by providing essential amino acids and enzymes for the hydrolysis of plant biomass, and a defensive role, by producing antibiotics.

2023

Bacteria

S. philanthi protect the offspring from opportunistic pathogens by producing antibiotics ,the beewolf protects S. philanthi from oxidative and nitrosative damage by producing protective enzymes and embalming the symbiont in a secretion containing long-chain hydrocarbons

2023

Fungi

B. bassiana evolved a defensin-like BbAMP1 to battle the insect surface microbiotas to facilitate fungal infection of insect hosts

2023

Messor structor

Hymenoptera

Bacteria

secretes albomycin to inhibit the growth of entomopathogens suggests that Streptomyces globisporus subsp. globisporus may be involved in defensive symbiosis with the Messor structor ant against infections

2022

Pseudomonas

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

show a strong inhibitory activity against entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana by reducing the fungal conidial germination and growth rather than regulating host immunity

2022

Serratia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

show a strong inhibitory activity against entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana by reducing the fungal conidial germination and growth rather than regulating host immunity

2022

Bombyx mori

Lepidoptera

Bacteria
Extracellular

B. subtilis can generate a variety of primary and secondary metabolites, such as B vitamins and antimicrobial compounds, to provide micronutrients and enhance the pathogen resistance of their insect host; The antimicrobial compounds secreted by B. subtilis were the primary driving force for the reconstruction of intestinal microbiota

2022

Amycolatopsis

Actinomycetota

Bacteria
Extracellular

inhibited the growth of Pseudonocardia symbionts under laboratory conditions. The novel analog nocamycin V from the strain was identified as the antibacterial compound

2022

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Lagria villosa

Coleoptera

Bacteria

removal of the community significantly impairs the survival probability of young larvae when exposed to different pathogenic Fungi

2022

Apis mellifera

Hymenoptera

Fungi

have antibacterial and antioxidant activities

2022

Apis cerana

Hymenoptera

Bacteria
Extracellular

LAB produce organic acids, known as anti-microbial metabolites, inhibiting the growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms

2022

Bacillus

Bacillota

Bacteria
Extracellular

microbiota harbored by D. saccharalis inhibits the growth of Colletotrichum falcatum and Fusarium verticillioides, which are both rot-causing fungi of sugarcane stalk
