Pantoea carbekii

Pseudomonadota

Halyomorpha halys

China, Japan, South…

Bacteria

Pantoea carbekii provides its host Halyomorpha halys with essential nutrients, vitamins, cofactors, and protection of the most vulnerable stages of early development (1st nymphal stages) via its biofilm-formation properties covering the eggs.

Arsenophonus sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Arsenophonus sp. (secondary symbiont reduction) led to reduction of the total life span and intrinsic rate of natural increase as well as appearance of deformed dead offspring in Aphis gossypii. Arsenophonus and H. defensa contribute to the fitness of A. gossypii by enhancing its performance.

Enterobacter BC-8

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Enterobacter BC-8 (symbiotic bacteria) suppressed plant defenses such as hydrogen peroxide and phenolic compounds accumulation and activity of peroxidases and trypsin inhibitors in potato plants by using crosstalk between jasmonate- and salicylate-mediated signaling pathways.
