Pantoea sp.
Pseudomonadota |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Pantoea sp. improves the fitness of Brachynema germari, as symbiont-free insects exhibit retarded growth, lower longevity, and reduced adult body weight. |

Candidatus Regiella insecticola
Pseudomonadota |
Sitobion avenaeChina |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Candidatus Regiella insecticola infection decreases the intrinsic rate of increase ($\text{r}_\text{m}$) of aphids at $25^{\circ}\text{C}$ and $28^{\circ}\text{C}$; this negative effect is environmentally dependent, with the effect at $31^{\circ}\text{C}$ varying by aphid genotype and density. |
