Candidatus Walczuchella monophlebidarum may provide metabolic precursors to the flavobacterial endosymbiont.
Nutrient Provision

2014
Bacteria

Candidatus Walczuchella monophlebidarum could be supplying most precursors for amino acid biosynthesis, as it has the potential to make ribulose-5P from ribose-1P and also PEP and pyruvate from glycolysis. It is also capable of producing homocysteine from homoserine for methionine biosynthesis.

Sulcia muelleri

Bacteroidota
Bacteria

Sulcia muelleri supports the production of eight of the 10 essential amino acids (arginine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, lysine, threonine, isoleucine, leucine, and valine).

Blattabacterium strain Bge codes for the complete urea cycle that, in combination with urease, produces ammonia as an end product for nitrogen recycling.
Nitrogen Fixation

Bacteria

Blattabacterium str. BPLAN recycles nitrogen from urea and ammonia (uric acid degradation products) into glutamate, using urease and glutamate dehydrogenase.
