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.

Pseudomonas sp. GCEP-1None1 is associated with cellulose degradation in the gut of the sugarcane pest Diatraea saccharalis.

2023

Bacteria

cycadivorous insects

USA, South Africa,…

Bacteria
Extracellular

The gut microbiomes (Amplicon data) of cycadivorous insects are rich in siderophore biosynthetic pathways (e.g., desferrioxamine B), which are hypothesized to help the host tolerate cycad toxins (azoxyglycosides, BMAA, etc.).
