Enterobacter

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Enterobacter is involved in the degradation of acephate and uses acephate as a source of carbon and energy for growth.

Lactobacillus

Bacillota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Lactobacillus may be able to ameliorate the pH of the acidic midgut region by releasing weak bases, and also has a complex relationship with physiological processes like nutrition and immune function that affect ionic homeostasis.

Bacteria
Extracellular

Bacillus subtillis inhibits the growth of Ascosphaera spp. and Paenibacillus and may thus have important roles in honey-bee immune defense (pathogen resistance).
Pathogen Resistance

Bacteria
Extracellular

Bacillus circulans slows the growth of the honey-bee chalkbrood causative Ascosphaera apis.

Bacteria
Extracellular

The ability of these arthropods to feed on wood, foliage, and detritus is likely to involve catalysis by different types of cellulases/hemicellulases that are secreted by the gut microbiota, including Bacillus cereus TAUC5, to digest structural and recalcitrant lignocellulosic residues in their foods.
