Apis mellifera

Hymenoptera

Bacteria
Intracellular

Bifidobacterium provides complementary demethylation service to promote Gilliamella growth on methylated homogalacturonan, an enriched polysaccharide of pectin. In exchange, Gilliamella shares digestive products with Bifidobacterium, through which a positive interaction is established

Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

harboring Serratia improved host aphid growth and fecundity but reduced longevity. Serratia defends aphids against P. japonica by impeding the predator's development and predation capacity, and modulating its foraging behavior

2024

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

this bacterial enrichment played a significant role in enhancing insect host reproduction

2024

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia positively affected female fecundity and offspring mass after a diet shift

2024

Rickettsiella

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

reduced aphid fecundity, decreased heat tolerance, and modified aphid body color, from light to dark green

2023

Fungi

B. bassiana has the insecticidal activity on X. affinis adult females and their progeny

2023

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

symbiont modulates Kr-h1 expression to enhance ovarian development and egg production of R. pedestris by increasing the biosynthesis of the two reproduction-associated proteins, hexamerin-α and vitellogenin

2023

Bacteria
Extracellular

in laboratory conditions, C. jiangsuensis significantly enhanced the development, body size, and reproductive potentials of R. pedestris, compared to individuals with no symbiotic bacteria.

2023

Bacteria

Rhodnius prolixus harbouring R. rhodnii developed faster, had higher survival, and laid more eggs
