Streptomyces

Actinomycetota
Bacteria
Intracellular and extracellular

Streptomyces protects the cocoon from fungal infestation and significantly enhances the survival probability of the larva, possibly by producing antibiotics.
Antimicrobial Activity

2005
Bacteria

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa ameliorates the effects of parasitoid wasp attack by causing the wasp larva to die prematurely, allowing the aphid host to develop and reproduce.
Natural Enemy Resistance

2005
Hamiltonella defensa

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Hamiltonella defensa is the source of resistance to A. ervi parasitism.
Natural Enemy Resistance

2005
Erwinia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Erwinia shortens the time to maturity and increases the oviposition rate (fertility and growth regulation).
Fertility Growth Regulation

2004
Aeromonas sp.

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Aeromonas sp. produces xylanase.
Xylan Hydrolysis

2004
Bacteria
Extracellular

Bacillus spp. produce the volatile alkyl disulfides in fecal pellets, which serve as kairomones to attract the parasitoid Diadromus pulchellus.
Semiochemical Biosynthesis

2004
Klebsiella oxytoca

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Klebsiella oxytoca produces the volatile alkyl disulfides in fecal pellets, which serve as kairomones to attract the parasitoid Diadromus pulchellus.
Semiochemical Biosynthesis

2004
Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Wolbachia induces complete Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) in the host.
Cytoplasmic Incompatibility

2004
Bacteroidota

Bacteroidota
Bacteria

Bacteroidota (A bacterial symbiont) induces Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) in the parasitoid wasp Encarsia pergandiella.
Cytoplasmic Incompatibility

2003
Ishikawaella

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Ishikawaella is required for normal growth and development; without the symbiont, the babies cannot grow and die.
Growth Regulation Developmental Modulation

2003
Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Buchnera aphidicola supports the exploitation of the poor diet of plant-phloem sap by aphids through supplementation of deficient nutrients, primarily essential amino acids.
Amino Acid Provision

2003
Bacteria

Blochmannia floridanus is able to supply nitrogen and sulfur compounds to the host while utilizing the host's metabolic machinery (nitrogen fixation).
Nitrogen Fixation

2003
Pseudomonas spp.

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Pseudomonas spp. provide defense against predators.
Natural Enemy Resistance

2002
Pseudomonas

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Pseudomonas is implicated in the protection of rove beetles against predators via the production of toxins and polyketides.
Natural Enemy Resistance Toxin Production

2002
Bacteria

Photorhabdus luminescens acts as a pathogen upon release from its symbiotic entomopathogenic nematode into the insect blood system.

wBruCon

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Wolbachia (wBruCon) causes Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) of the host insect.

2002
wBruOri

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Wolbachia (wBruOri) causes Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) of the host insect.
Cytoplasmic Incompatibility

2002
wBruAus

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Wolbachia (wBruAus) is exceptionally resistant to tetracycline and rifampicin.
Pesticide Metabolization

2002
Bacteria
