Osmia cornifronsHymenoptera |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
In O. cornifrons larvae, Microbacterium could contribute to the balance and resiliency of the gut microbiome under stress conditions. In addition, Rhodococcus was found in O. cornifrons larvae and is known for its detoxification capabilities |
