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 Trabulsiella guamensis GTC1379, to digest structural and recalcitrant lignocellulosic residues in their foods.

Actinobacteria

Actinomycetota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Actinobacteria (Phylum Actinomycetota) confers protection to young workers until the maturation of their immune system and suppresses the growth of Escovopsis spp., the specialized parasite of attine fungus gardens.

Hamiltonella

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Hamiltonella (in Bemisia tabaci MED) conferred significant benefits, including increased egg production, higher nymphal survival, faster development times, and larger adult body size, compared to Hamiltonella-free whiteflies.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia (in Riptortus pedestris) infected insects showed up-regulation and down-regulation of specific genes that may be involved in the regulation of symbiotic relationships.
