Gilliamella apicola carries the gene for the desaturase FADS2, which is able to metabolize polyunsaturated fatty acids from pollen and synthesize endocannabinoid, a lipogenic neuroactive substance, thereby modulating reward learning and memory in honeybees.

Bombella apis could restore larval-to-pupal transition disrupted by antibiotic treatment

participate in tyrosine production

The virulent wMelPop can improve the learning and memory capacity of Drosophila.

stimulating systemic immunity and preventing subsequent infection of lethal pathogens

Transinfected planthopper lines acquired the insecticide sensitivity trait, with associated downregulation of the P450 xenobiotic detoxification system of the host

Individual exposure of B. thuringiensis isolates to P. absoluta revealed high susceptibility of the pest and could potentially be used to develop effective, safe and affordable microbial pesticides for the management of P. absoluta.

produce symbiont-derived pectinases and supply to the host’s alimentary tract for plant cell wall digestion

Dengue reduction increased with Wolbachia frequency to a predicted 75.8% at 100%

increase the resistance of B. dorsalis to β-cypermethrin by regulating cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes and α-glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities

possessed several genes in essential amino acid biosynthesis and seemed to perform roles in providing nutrients to the host

were predicted to have genes related to hydrocarbon, fatty acids, and chitin degradation, which may assist their hosts in digesting the wax shell covering the scale insects

plays an important role in interactions between insects and plants and could therefore be considered a valuable target for the development of sustainable pest control strategies;transmitted bacteria impacted plant chemical defenses and were able to degrade toxic plant metabolites, aiding the shield bug in its nutrition
