Nardonella

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Candidatus Nardonella might not be playing critical roles in the reproduction of L. oryzophilus.

Pentalonia nigronervosa

MadagascarBurundi, …

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola (BPn) provides essential amino acids to its host that are absent in plant phloem.

Pentalonia nigronervosa

MadagascarBurundi, …

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia sp. (wPn) increases the host's production of reactive oxygen species and its antioxidant system.

2015

Bacteria and Fungi

Termite gut microbiome (amplicon) is comprised of gut symbionts that are major recyclers of lignocellulosic biomass.

Wolbachia wCcep

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia wCcep induces reproductive incompatibility in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci.

2015

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia does not affect the development of the host female reproductive tract and eggs, but it enhances the host-searching ability of female wasps.

Buchnera

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Elimination of Buchnera significantly reduced the formation of winged morphs, body mass, and fecundity in S. avenae; it may disrupt nutrient acquisition in aphids and alter transgenerational phenotypic expression.

2015

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia gut symbionts positively affect the Riptortus systemic immunity through stronger humoral immunity.

2015

Bacteria

Bacillus tequilensis KCTC 13622 displays carboxymethyl cellulose activity.

2015

Arsenophonus

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Arsenophonus might be correlated with the virulence variation of the brown planthopper.

2015

Serratia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Serratia might be correlated with the virulence variation of the brown planthopper.

Hamiltonella defensa

Pseudomonadota

Acyrthosiphon pisum

USA, Germany, France

Bacteria
Intracellular

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa and Rickettsiella viridis co-infection causes aphid larvae to become darker green.

2015

Acyrthosiphon pisum

USA, Germany, France

Bacteria
Intracellular

Rickettsiella viridis infection causes young red aphid larvae to become greener at adulthood, which can reduce predation risk.

Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola disruption down-regulated the expression of the host's Mp63 salivary protein gene.
