Streptomyces

Actinomycetota

Bacteria

resulting in a rich repertoire of antimicrobials, inhibit a fungal entomopathogen, Metarhizium anisopliae

2021

Streptomyces sp. M54

Actinomycetota

Polybia plebeja

Hymenoptera

Bacteria

this bacterium produces antimicrobial compounds that are active against Hirsutella citriformis, a natural fungal enemy of its host, and the human pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans

Bacteria

P. typographi aids I. typographi nutrition and resistance to fungal pathogens

2020

Pantoea carbekii

Pseudomonadota

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

Bacteria
Extracellular

Cycloheximide is produced, which inhibits the growth of parasitic fungi Nectria spp. and protects mutualistic fungi Raffaelea spp.

Enterococcus

Bacillota

Bacteria
Extracellular

protect the host against pathogens and noncommensal microbes from outside

2020

Bacteria

producing an antimicrobial peptide

Mycobacterium

Actinomycetota

Bacteria

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

produces an antibacterial cyclic lipopeptide called serrawettin W2

2020

Lagria villosa

Coleoptera

Bacteria

process a cryptic gene cluster that codes for the biosynthesis of a novel antifungal polyketide with a glutarimide pharmacophore, which led to the discovery of the gladiofungins as previously-overlooked components of the antimicrobial armory of the beetle symbiont
