Xenorhabdus bovienii

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Xenorhabdus bovienii has the gene PIN1 encoding a protease inhibitor protein active against aphids.
Plant Defense Modulation

Bacteria

Bacillus subtilis produces chymotrypsin-like proteases, likely assisting the insect in proteinaceous food digestion and adaptation to protease inhibitors of host plants.
