Rickettsia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Rickettsia plays an essential role in energy metabolism, and nutrient synthesis in the B. tabaci MEAM1, and depends on metabolites obtained from the host to ensure its survival

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Encarsia formosa

Hymenoptera
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia's parthenogenesis-induction feminization factor (piff) gene modulates sex determination in Encarsia formosa by regulating doublesex (dsx) expression. When Wolbachia is removed, female-specific dsx decreases while male-specific dsx increases, resulting in haploid male offspring
