Pseudomonadota

Osmia cornifrons

Hymenoptera

Bacteria
Extracellular

be known to exhibit antibiotic activity, suggesting their potential protective role against pathogens

2024

Pseudomonas

Pseudomonadota

Osmia cornifrons

Hymenoptera

Bacteria
Extracellular

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

2024

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

stimulating systemic immunity and preventing subsequent infection of lethal pathogens

2024

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

2024

Apis cerana

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

Fungi

produces the volatile compound phenylethyl alcohol (PEA) that causes behavioral avoidance in locusts, upregulate expression of LmOBP1 negatively affects the insect immune responses to ultimately benefit successful mycosis by the pathogen

2023

Sodalis pierantonius

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

may infulence immunity, metabolism, metal control, apoptosis, and bacterial stress response

2023

Bacteria
Extracellular

Beauveria bassiana infection-based assays showed that the mortality of non-axenic L. dispar asiatica larvae was significantly higher than that of axenic larvae at 72 h.

2023

Acinetobacter

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Acinetobacter species increase the resistance of An. gambiae to Plasmodium development partly by the induction of anti-Plasmodium factors in Imd pathway

2023

Citrobacter freundii

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

affect the cellular and humoral immunity of the insect, increasing its susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis var. tenebrionis (morrisoni) (Bt)

2022

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

modulates metabolism and immunity during Aedes fluviatilis oogenesis

2022

Wolbachia pipientis

Pseudomonadota

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.

2021

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia infection affects differential gene expression in Drosophila testis.Genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, lysosomal degradation, proteolysis, lipid metabolism, and immune response were upregulated in the presence of Wolbachia

2021

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

antibiotics induced histopathological damage and reactive oxygen species production in the ovaries

2021

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

2020

Melitaea cinxia

Lepidoptera

Bacteria

impacted the host immunity by down-regulating the expression of a gene involved in the response against pathogens
