Stammera

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Candidatus Stammera is metabolically decoupled in adult beetles to match the nutritional and reproductive requirements of its host, Chelymorpha alternans.
Fertility Growth Regulation

Bacteria

Mammaliicoccus sciuri produces the secreted chitinolytic lysozyme Msp1, which damages fungal cell walls and completely inhibits the spore germination of the fungal entomopathogens Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana.
