Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola derives the protein GroES which induces hydrogen peroxide accumulation and callose deposition in wheat, activating the plant's defense pathways (salicylic acid and jasmonic acid) against the aphid Sitobion miscanthi.

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia marcescens is a pathogenic bacterium whose ingestion negatively affects the development and nutritional physiology of Spodoptera litura. Its successful establishment degrades the gut wall and invades the haemocoel, causing host death.

Enterobacter sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Enterobacter sp. can degrade malathion, pirimiphos-methyl, and deltamethrin and utilize these insecticides as a carbon source in vitro, suggesting a role in host pesticide resistance.
