Arsenophonus
Pseudomonadota |
Ommatissus lybicusIran |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Arsenophonus is essential for normal host development, as its removal increases developmental time and reduces life-history parameters like nymphal survival rate and adult longevity. |

Extracellular
|
Enterobacter sp. AA26 dry biomass can fully replace brewer’s yeast as a protein source in the medfly larval diet without negatively affecting the productivity or biological quality of the reared medfly strain. |

Escherichia coli
Pseudomonadota |
Manduca sextaGermany |
Bacteria
|
Escherichia coli modulates immunity-related gene expression in the infected F0 larvae and their offspring, triggering immune responses associated with shifts in both DNA methylation and histone acetylation. |

Regiella insecticola
Pseudomonadota |
Sitobion avenaeChile |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Regiella insecticola infection in aphids results in increased predation by the ladybird Hippodamia variegata, and does not improve defenses against coccinellid predators or metabolic rates. |
