Lymantria disparLepidoptera |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Abundance of genus Pseudomonas in D. superans larvae increased, but Serratia and Enterobacter decreased, and L. dispar larvae fed on aconitine-treated diet and nicotine-treated diet shared dominant bacteria Enterococcus (by 16S rRNA gene sequencing) |

Extracellular
|
Laboratory-reared and field-collected P. chrysocephala all contained three core genera Pantoea, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas, and reintroduction of Pantoea sp. Pc8 in antibiotic-fed beetles restored isothiocyanate degradation ability in vivo (by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and LC-MS) |
