produces toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and a mandelonitrile-producing cyanoglucoside, amygdalin, which protect the insect from predation

Klebsiella oxytoca

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

The intestinal microbiota structure was significantly influenced by the probiotic treatment while still maintaining a stable core dominant community of Enterobacteriacea. The  colony with these microbiome had the most improved potential functions in terms of gut microbes as well as the carbohydrates active enzymes most improved potential functions.

Serratia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Serratia may be related to the virulence variation of BPHs. It is speculated that the rich Serratia in the gut of the long-winged BPH can help it adapt to the harsh environment.
