Microbacterium

Actinomycetota

Osmia cornifrons

Hymenoptera

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

Aschnera provides these vitamins and cofactors, such as biotin (vitamin B7), tetrahydrofolate (vitamin B9), riboflavin (vitamin B2), and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (vitamin B6)

Bacteria
Intracellular

gut microbiota is not essential in this species for survival and development throughout its complete life cycle, but it could participate in complementation of host nutrition by helping with food digestion and nutrient absorption

Nardonella

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

participate in tyrosine production

2024

Bacteria
Intracellular

Transinfected planthopper lines acquired the insecticide sensitivity trait, with associated downregulation of the P450 xenobiotic detoxification system of the host

2024

Bacteria

possessed several genes in essential amino acid biosynthesis and seemed to perform roles in providing nutrients to the host

Pantoea sp. Nvir

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular and Extracellular

plays an important role in interactions between insects and plants and could therefore be considered a valuable target for the development of sustainable pest control strategies;transmitted bacteria impacted plant chemical defenses and were able to degrade toxic plant metabolites, aiding the shield bug in its nutrition

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular and Extracellular

plays an important role in interactions between insects and plants and could therefore be considered a valuable target for the development of sustainable pest control strategies;transmitted bacteria impacted plant chemical defenses and were able to degrade toxic plant metabolites, aiding the shield bug in its nutrition

Rickettsia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Rickettsia infection resulted in increased whitefly fecundity and female bias by stimulating juvenile hormone synthesis. The production of more female progeny facilitates Rickettsia transmission

Panesthiinae

Blattodea

Bacteria
Intracellular

enables hosts to subsist on a nutrient-poor diet; endosymbiont genome erosions are associated with repeated host transitions to an underground life

can use glutamine and other raw materials for the synthesis of essential amino acids, so as to supplement the BPH with amino acids that are missing in food or cannot be synthesized by itself, and the difference in nutrients can affect the difference in wing type differentiation.

Rickettsia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
