	Host Insect	Classification	Localization	Function	Function Tags	Year	Edit
Acinetobacter sp. AS23 Pseudomonadota	Curculio chinensis China	Bacteria		Acinetobacter sp. AS23 endows its host Curculio chinensis with the ability to degrade saponin (a plant chemical defense compound).	Detoxification Enzymes	2022
Acinetobacter sp. AS23 Pseudomonadota	Curculio chinensis China	Bacteria	Extracellular	Acinetobacter sp. AS23 facilitates the degradation of tea saponin for Curculio chinensis; its genome contains 47 genes relating to triterpenoids degradation.	Detoxification Enzymes	2022
Acinetobacter sp. Pseudomonadota	Curculio chinensis	Bacteria	Extracellular	Acinetobacter sp. is enriched in Curculio chinensis after treating with saponin, and is confirmed to significantly decrease saponin content in vitro (from 4.054 to 1.867 mg/mL over 72 h), indicating a detoxification role.	Detoxification Enzymes	2022
Acinetobacter sp. Pseudomonadota	Lymantria dispar	Bacteria	Extracellular	Acinetobacter sp.'s growth is improved by 15% in the presence of condensed tannins, suggesting a detoxification or nutritional role in Lymantria dispar.	Detoxification Enzymes	2022
Acinetobacter sp. Pseudomonadota	Hypothenemus hampei Hawai’i, Mexico	Bacteria		Acinetobacter sp. might contribute to caffeine breakdown using the C-8 oxidation pathway (detoxification) in Hypothenemus hampei.	Detoxification Enzymes	2021
Acinetobacter sp. AnTc-1 Pseudomonadota	Tribolium castaneum China	Bacteria	Extracellular	Acinetobacter sp. AnTc-1 may play a role in the larval gut for biodegradation of Polystyrene (PS) in Tribolium castaneum.	Plastic Degration	2020
Acinetobacter sp. Pseudomonadota	Lymantria dispar	Bacteria	Extracellular	Acinetobacter sp. isolated from a host plant had glycoside-degrading activity, which enhanced moth growth when larvae were fed on a toxin-containing diet.	Detoxification Enzymes	2018
Acinetobacter sp. Pseudomonadota	Blattella germanica USA	Bacteria		The gut microbiota (including Acinetobacter sp.) contributes to the production of volatile chemical attractants (VCAs) that act as fecal aggregation agents, and cockroaches discriminate among the complex odors that emanate from a diverse microbial community.	Semiochemical Biosynthesis	2015
Acinetobacter sp. KCNone61-AaNBF Pseudomonadota	Aedes aegypti USA	Bacteria		Acinetobacter sp. KC061-AaNBF is essential for development, as axenic larvae cannot develop.	Developmental Modulation	2014
Acinetobacter sp. KCNone61-AaNBF Pseudomonadota	Anopheles gambiae USA	Bacteria		Acinetobacter sp. KC061-AaNBF is essential for development, as axenic larvae cannot develop.	Developmental Modulation	2014
Acinetobacter sp. KCNone61-AaNBF Pseudomonadota	Georgecraigius atropalpus USA	Bacteria		Acinetobacter sp. KC061-AaNBF is essential for development, as axenic larvae cannot develop.	Developmental Modulation	2014
Acinetobacter Pseudomonadota	Helicoverpa armigera India	Bacteria	Extracellular	Acinetobacter (in Helicoverpa armigera) metabolizes insecticides.	Pesticide Metabolization	2012
Acinetobacter sp. BIT-H3 Pseudomonadota	Tenebrio molitor China	Bacteria	Extracellular	Acinetobacter sp. BIT-H3 degrades Polystyrene (PS).	Plastic Degration	2023
