Wolbachia pipientis
Pseudomonadota |
Aedes fluviatilisDiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
The presence of Wolbachia pipientis improves energy performance in A. fluviatilis cells; it affects the regulation of key energy sources such as lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates, making the distribution of actin more peripheral and with extensions that come into contact with neighboring cells. |
