Bacteria
Extracellular

The ability of these arthropods to feed on wood, foliage, and detritus is likely to involve catalysis by different types of cellulases/hemicellulases that are secreted by the gut microbiota, including Microbacterium arborescens JB8_2B, to digest structural and recalcitrant lignocellulosic residues in their foods.

Bacteria and Fungi
Extracellular

Gut bacteria and Fungi harbor a broad set of genes or gene modules encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) relevant to plant fiber degradation, particularly debranching enzymes and oligosaccharide-processing enzymes.

2013

Proteus sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Proteus sp. upregulates AMP gene expression, resulting in the suppression of DENV infection in the mosquito gut epithelium.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia is essential for the host, as giant mesquite bugs experience higher mortality if the symbiont is not acquired.

Bacteria

Gut bacteria (midgut bacterial overload) confers an advantage against certain entomopathogens such as B. thuringiensis.
