Enterococcus

Bacillota

Bacteria
Extracellular

The core dominant Enterococcus species possessed complete pathways of 14 carbohydrates metabolism, 11 amino acids biosynthesis, and two vitamins synthesize, implied to contribute an essential role to the nutrition intake and development of C. medinalis

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

may regulate the loss of sexual reproduction or has a nutritional role in P. bambucicola

Stenotrophomonas

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Stenotrophomonas spp. can colonize a gut microbiome with limited other symbionts in the presence of kanamycin.The antibiotic-induced dysbiosis and insecticide tolerance that occurred in the resistant strain suggest new, exciting mutualistic relationships between gut microbiota and their insect hosts.
