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.

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.

Arsenophonus

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Arsenophonus facultative endosymbiont infections alter the performance of Aphis gossypii on an amino-acid-deficient diet.

Bacteria

Xenorhabdus rhabduscin gene cluster products inhibit Spodoptera frugiperda phenoloxidase activity.

Pantoea

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Pantoea affects oviposition behavior, morphogenesis, and development in Plautia stali.

Wigglesworthia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wigglesworthia provisions folate (vitamin $\text{B}_9$) which pathogenic African trypanosomes exploit to successfully establish an infection in the tsetse fly vector's midgut (MG).

Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota

Aphis gossypii

USA, Germany

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola functions in nutrient-provisioning (e.g., amino acids).

Pseudomonadota

Aphis fabae

USA, Germany

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola functions in nutrient-provisioning (e.g., amino acids).

2019

Bacteria

Enterobacter sp. FAW4-1 mediates assaults by maize defenses on the fall armyworm's digestive and immune systems, resulting in reduced growth and elevated mortality in the insect.

Bacteria

Klebsiella sp. FAW8-1 mediates assaults by maize defenses on the fall armyworm's digestive and immune systems, resulting in reduced growth and elevated mortality in the insect.

Klebsiella oxytoca

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Klebsiella oxytoca in an enriched diet increases the lifespan but lowers the fecundity of female Bactrocera dorsalis.

2019

Pantoea dispersa

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Pantoea dispersa causes female Bactrocera dorsalis to lay more eggs but have a shorter lifespan.

Enterobacter cloacae

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Enterobacter cloacae causes female Bactrocera dorsalis to lay more eggs but have a shorter lifespan.

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Serratia marcescens is associated with growth-promoting activity and is capable of producing volatile pyrazines (including 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine) used as pheromones by ants.
