the symbiont may contribute to larval survival in unripe olives

Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota

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

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

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.
