Bacteria and Fungi
Extracellular

Gut bacteria and Fungi harbor a broad set of genes or gene modules encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) relevant to plant fiber degradation, particularly debranching enzymes and oligosaccharide-processing enzymes.

Bacteria
Extracellular

Gut bacteria (in multiple species of Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are involved in the detoxification of plant secondary compounds.

Bacteria

Gut bacteria (midgut bacterial overload) confers an advantage against certain entomopathogens such as B. thuringiensis.
