Extracellular
|
Laboratory-reared and field-collected P. chrysocephala all contained three core genera Pantoea, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas, and reintroduction of Pantoea sp. Pc8 in antibiotic-fed beetles restored isothiocyanate degradation ability in vivo (by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and LC-MS) |
