Enterobacter

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

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

2016

Pantoea agglonierans

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

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

2016

Bacteria

Bacillus cereus is involved in the degradation of indoxacarb and could use indoxacarb for metabolism and growth.

2016

Bacteria

Bacillus thuringiensis is a widely used bacterial entomopathogen that produces insecticidal toxins, some of which are expressed in insect-resistant transgenic crops.

2016

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.

2016

Bacteria

Bacillus cereus contributes to the gut microbiome homeostasis maintained by mosquito C-type lectins.

2016

Bacteria

Bacillus simplex contributes to the gut microbiome homeostasis maintained by mosquito C-type lectins.

2016

Bacteria

Bacillus tequilensis KCTC 13622 displays carboxymethyl cellulose activity.

2015

Lactobacillus

Bacillota

Bacillus

Bacillota

Bacteria

Bacillus exhibits activity of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes.

2015

Bacteria
Extracellular

Bacillus pumilus possesses cellulose degrading activity.

2015

Bombyx mori

Saudi Arabia

Bacteria

Bacillus megaterium produces amylase for starch degradation.

2014

Bacteria

Paenibacillus sp. KC016-AaL is essential for development, as axenic larvae cannot develop.

2014

Bacteria

Paenibacillus sp. KC016-AaL is essential for development, as axenic larvae cannot develop.

2014

Bacteria

Paenibacillus sp. KC016-AaL is essential for development, as axenic larvae cannot develop.

2014

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).

2013

Bacteria
Extracellular

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

2013

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.
