Snodgrassella alvi

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Snodgrassella alvi slightly increases host survivorship when the bumble bee is exposed to selenate toxicity.
Stress Resistance

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Serratia marcescens is associated with growth-promoting activity and is capable of producing volatile pyrazines (including 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine) used as pheromones by ants.

Serratia sp.

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia sp. produces lipodepsipeptides, stephensiolides A-K, that have antibiotic activity and facilitate bacterial surface motility.
