Bacteria
Extracellular

Candidatus Tachikawaea gelatinosa localizes to a specialized midgut region and supplies essential amino acids deficient in the host's diet, underpinning host's ecological adaptation.

Extracellular

Candidatus Erwinia dacicola contributes essential amino acids and metabolizes urea into an available nitrogen source for the fly, thus significantly elevating egg production.
