Bacteria

Burkholderia gladioli harbors a cryptic gene cluster that codes for the biosynthesis of gladiofungin, a novel antifungal polyketide with a glutarimide pharmacophore, representing a previously-overlooked component of the beetle symbiont's antimicrobial armory.

Extracellular

Burkholderia gut symbiont stimulates the biosynthesis of the heteroptera-specific JHSB3 in the host, leading to a larger number of eggs produced and enhanced fitness in Riptortus.
Fertility

2019
Bacteria

Burkholderia insecticola strain RPE75 provides the host with essential, limited nutrients, contributing to rapid growth and enhanced reproduction, by processing specific nutrients and recycling host metabolic wastes.
