Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia causes Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) in E. inaron.
Cytoplasmic Incompatibility

2009
Bacteria

Blattabacterium strain Bge codes for the complete urea cycle that, in combination with urease, produces ammonia as an end product for nitrogen recycling.
Nitrogen Fixation

2009
Blochmannia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Blochmannia produces ammonia from dietary urea and then uses it as a source of nitrogen.
Nitrogen Fixation

2009
Bacteria

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa 5AT can block the larval development of solitary endoparasitoid wasps (Aphidius ervi and Aphidius eadyi), thereby rescuing the aphid host.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia increases the olfactory response of flies by regulating the expression of olfaction-related genes in the hosts.
