Buchnera aphidicola
Pseudomonadota |
Acyrthosiphon pisumHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
metabolic constraints or antisense transcripts may reduce Buchnera-mediated production of pantothenate, resulting in poor aphid performance on pantothenate-free diets |

Pantoea carbekii
Pseudomonadota |
Halyomorpha halysHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
provides its host with essential nutrients, vitamins, cofactors and protection of the most vulnerable stages of early development (1st nymphal stages). Pantoea carbekii is highly stress tolerant, especially once secreted to cover the eggs, by its unique biofilm-formation properties, securing host offspring survival |

Arsenophonus sp.
Pseudomonadota |
Aphis gossypiiHemiptera |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
secondary symbiont reduction led to reduction of the total life span and intrinsic rate of natural increase as well as appearance of the deformed dead offspring. H. defensa and Arsenophonus contributed to the fitness of A. gossypii by enhancing its performance, but not through parasitoid resistance. |
