Asaia sp. W12

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Asaia sp. W12 possesses two complete operons (cyoABCD-1 and cyoABCD-2) encoding cytochrome bo3-type ubiquinol terminal oxidases, allowing flexible respiratory pathway transition. Genes for 2,3-butandiol and inositol production contribute to biofilm formation and stress tolerance.

Asaia sp.

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Extracellular

Asaia improves the fitness of the white-backed planthopper (WBPH) through its involvement in the host's nutrient supply.
