Bacteria
Extracellular

Bacillus licheniformis can degrade malathion, pirimiphos-methyl, and deltamethrin and utilize these insecticides as a carbon source in vitro, suggesting a role in host pesticide resistance.

Extracellular

The ability of these arthropods to feed on wood, foliage, and detritus is likely to involve catalysis by different types of cellulases/hemicellulases that are secreted by the gut microbiota, including Bacillus licheniformis EdyKolBl23, to digest structural and recalcitrant lignocellulosic residues in their foods.
