Serratia symbiotica
Pseudomonadota |
Acyrthosiphon pisumChina |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Serratia symbiotica inhibits the process of regression from winged to wingless morph (apterization) in Acyrthosiphon pisum, increases the body weight of nymphs, and temporally increases the quantity of the primary symbiont Buchnera aphidicola. |
