extracellular cellulase production

2020

Bacteria
Intracellular

CLas exposure altered the abundance of proteins involved in immunity and cellular and oxidative stress in a sex-dependent manner. Also, Clas impacted cuticular proteins and enzymes involved in chitin degradation, as well as energy metabolism and abundance of the endosymbiont 'Candidatus Profftella armatura' in both sexes similarly

Pichia

Ascomycota

Fungi
Extracellular

yeast is known to release nutritional components from the fruit substrate by producing extracellular enzymes and this may make nutrients further accessible to the larvae

Sirex noctilio

Hymenoptera

Fungi
Extracellular

The fungus digests lignin in the host pine, providing essential nutrients for the growing woodwasp larvae

Citrobacter

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

degrading lignocellulose
