Pantoea carbekii
Pseudomonadota |
Halyomorpha halysHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
provides its host with essential nutrients, vitamins, cofactors and protection of the most vulnerable stages of early development (1st nymphal stages). Pantoea carbekii is highly stress tolerant, especially once secreted to cover the eggs, by its unique biofilm-formation properties, securing host offspring survival |
