Streptomyces

Actinomycetota

Bombyx mori

South Korea

Bacteria

Streptomyces produces Bombyxamycin A, which exhibits significant antibacterial and antiproliferative effects.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia gut symbiont stimulates the biosynthesis of the heteroptera-specific JHSB3 in the host, leading to a larger number of eggs produced and enhanced fitness in Riptortus.

Asaia sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Asaia sp. improves the fitness of white-backed planthopper (WBPH) by reducing nymphal duration, increasing adult weight, and supplying nutrients to the host.

Asaia sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Asaia improves the fitness of the white-backed planthopper (WBPH) through its involvement in the host's nutrient supply.

Bacteria

Burkholderia insecticola strain RPE75 provides the host with essential, limited nutrients, contributing to rapid growth and enhanced reproduction, by processing specific nutrients and recycling host metabolic wastes.

Bacteria
Intracellular

Candidatus Profftella armatura produces diaphorin, a polyketide that is significantly toxic to mammalian cells.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia can alter the host's reproduction through various manipulations, such as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), enhancing its spread.
