Burkholderia insecticola strain RPE75
Pseudomonadota |
Riptortus pedestrisFrance |
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. |

Arsenophonus
Pseudomonadota |
Ommatissus lybicusIran |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Arsenophonus is essential for normal host development, as its removal increases developmental time and reduces life-history parameters like nymphal survival rate and adult longevity. |
