Rhodobacter
Pseudomonadota |
Coccinella septempunctataColeoptera |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Rhodanobacter genera can utilize various carbon sources, including cellobiose. In larvae of longhorned beetles that feed on plants rich in carbohydrates (cellulose and hemicellulose) and lignin, Rhodanobacter can help the larvae digest more carbon nutrients through carbon sequestration |

Buchnera aphidicola
Pseudomonadota |
Acyrthosiphon pisumHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Buchnera the nutritional endosymbiont of A. pisum is located inside of bacteriocytes and requires aspartate from the aphid host, because it cannot make it de novo. Further Buchnera needs aspartate for the biosynthesis of the essential amino acids lysine and threonine, which the aphid and Buchnera require for survival |
