Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

harboring Serratia improved host aphid growth and fecundity but reduced longevity. Serratia defends aphids against P. japonica by impeding the predator's development and predation capacity, and modulating its foraging behavior

Pseudomonadota

Encarsia formosa

Hymenoptera
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia's parthenogenesis-induction feminization factor (piff) gene modulates sex determination in Encarsia formosa by regulating doublesex (dsx) expression. When Wolbachia is removed, female-specific dsx decreases while male-specific dsx increases, resulting in haploid male offspring
