Bacteria
Extracellular

The ability of these arthropods to feed on wood, foliage, and detritus is likely to involve catalysis by different types of cellulases/hemicellulases that are secreted by the gut microbiota, including Klebsiella pneumoniae L-13, to digest structural and recalcitrant lignocellulosic residues in their foods.

Klebsiella pneumonia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Klebsiella pneumonia provides nitrogen fixation to hosts, which is beneficial for desert environments.

2013

Bacteria

Klebsiella sp. clone KP20W6 plays an important role by degrading complex dietary components, providing nutrient supplementation, or detoxifying noxious chemicals (e.g., cyclopropenoic fatty acids or gossypol) in the diet.
