weight and head capsule width were higher in larvae fed on F. solani, and gut lignocellulose activities were elevated in fed larvae

this bacterium has been shown to contribute to the synthesis of a defensive toxin in the beetle, Paederus fuscipes, and promotes arginine metabolism under in vitro conditions

Gilliamella apicola carries the gene for the desaturase FADS2, which is able to metabolize polyunsaturated fatty acids from pollen and synthesize endocannabinoid, a lipogenic neuroactive substance, thereby modulating reward learning and memory in honeybees.

Bombella apis could restore larval-to-pupal transition disrupted by antibiotic treatment

The virulent wMelPop can improve the learning and memory capacity of Drosophila.

provide key fitness advantages through larval development and diapause

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

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

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

the microbiota modulates its host expression profile during ontogeny which suggests that the microbiota is essential to BSFL’s normal development.

Gut symbiont resulted in increase in the body size and weight of male adults;increased dispersal capacity of male adults especially for flight

Hamiltonella retarded the growth and development of cotton aphids accompanied by the downregulation of genes related to energy synthesis and nutrient metabolism

gut symbionts are required for their development

gut symbionts are required for their development

gut symbionts are required for their development

aphid strain infected with H. defensa performed shortened developmental duration for 1st instar and total nymph stages, reduced aphid survival rate, offspring, and longevity

the Regiella-infected strain performed delayed developmental duration and lower adult weight

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

symbiont colonization induces the development of the midgut crypts via finely regulating the enterocyte cell cycles, enabling it to stably and abundantly colonize the generated spacious crypts of the bean bug host

indicate significant effects of the intracellular symbiotic bacterium Wolbachia on the metabolism of H. hebetor larvae and on the activity of its digestive enzymes
