Bacteria
Extracellular

Pseudomonas fulva ZJU1 can degrade and utilize the mulberry-derived secondary metabolite, 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) as the sole energy source, and after inoculation into nonspecialists, P. fulva ZJU1 increased host resistance to DNJ and significantly promoted growth

Bacteria
Extracellular

Gilliamella apicola carries the gene for the desaturase FADS2, which is able to metabolize polyunsaturated fatty acids from pollen and synthesize endocannabinoid, a lipogenic neuroactive substance, thereby modulating reward learning and memory in honeybees.
