Burkholderia
Pseudomonadota |
Riptortus pedestrisHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Burkholderia gut symbiont in the host insect stimulates biosynthesis of the heteroptera-specific JHSB3, leading to larger number of eggs produced and enhanced fitness in Riptortus host insects |

Burkholderia insecticola strain RPE75
Pseudomonadota |
Riptortus pedestrisHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
fed with specific nutrients and also recycles host metabolic wastes in the insect gut, and in return, the bacterial symbiont provides the host with essential nutrients limited in the insect food, contributing to the rapid growth and enhanced reproduction of the bean bug host. |
