Bacteria

Wolbachia strain wSur causes cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) but does not cause male-killing in the grain pest beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis.

2022

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia modulates metabolism and immunity during Aedes fluviatilis oogenesis.

2022

Bombella apis

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Bombella apis suppresses the growth of fungal pathogens and ultimately protects bee brood from infection in Apis mellifera.

2021

Wolbachia pipientis

Pseudomonadota

Aedes fluviatilis

South Africa

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia pipientis improves energy performance in Aedes fluviatilis cells; it affects the regulation of key energy sources (lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates) and causes actin distribution to be more peripheral and to contact neighboring cells.

2021

Bacteria

Acinetobacter guillouiae showed significant volatile inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Arthrobacter sp. 3

Actinomycetota

Bacteria

Arthrobacter sp. 3 showed significant volatile inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Lampropedia sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Lampropedia sp. showed significant contact inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Bacteria

Leucobacter aridicollis showed significant contact inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Morganella morganii

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Morganella morganii showed significant volatile inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Bacteria

Ochrobactrum anthropi showed significant volatile inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Bacteria

Paenibacillus sp. 3 showed significant contact inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Rhodococcus equi

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Rhodococcus equi showed significant contact inhibition activity against the fungal entomopathogens Fusarium moniliforme, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium oxysporum in Delia antiqua.

2021

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia gladioli Lv-StA is involved in antibiotic production in Lagria villosa, representing a dynamic transition between plant pathogenicity and insect-defensive mutualism.

2021

Bacteria
Extracellular

Streptomyces sp. AT67 contributes to brood ball hygiene by inhibiting fungal parasites in the environment of the dung beetle Copris tripartitus.

2021

Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola can facilitate cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) transmission by modulating plant volatile profiles in the host Myzus persicae.

2021

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia infection affects differential gene expression in Drosophila testis, upregulating genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, lysosomal degradation, proteolysis, lipid metabolism, and immune response in the host Drosophila melanogaster.

2021

Bacteria

Bacterial communities (Amplicon data) block Beauveria bassiana conidia and stabilize the associated microbiota of Delia antiqua larvae during B. bassiana invasion, conferring pathogen resistance.

2021

Bacillus sp.

Bacillota

Bacteria

Bacillus sp. (in Samia ricini) exhibits cellulolytic activity (cellulose hydrolysis).

2021
