Sodalis pierantonius

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Sodalis pierantonius (based on gene expression analysis) may influence host immunity, metabolism, metal control, apoptosis, and bacterial stress response in the cereal weevil, Sitophilus oryzae.

Bostrichidae

Germany, Czech, Y…

Bacteria

Bostrichicola ureolyticus complements Shikimatogenerans by recycling urea and provisioning the essential amino acid lysine, providing additional benefits on nitrogen-poor diets in xylophagous beetles.

Bostrichidae

Germany, Czech, Y…

Bacteria

Shikimatogenerans bostrichidophilus encodes the shikimate pathway to produce tyrosine precursors, likely supplementing the beetles' cuticle biosynthesis, sclerotization, and melanization.
