Candidatus Pantoea persica
Pseudomonadota |
Acrosternum arabicumIran |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular

Bacillus sp.
Bacillota |
Anopheles barbirostrisIndia |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Bacillus sp. (midgut flora) is necessary for normal larval development in Anopheles barbirostris; its absence causes delayed development to become adult (developmental modulation). |
