Bacteroides Bacteroidota	Hyphantria cunea The presence of Bacteroides is part of the gut microbiota that enhances the compatibility of the invasive pest (Hyphant… Leptocybe invasa male killing Oryzaephilus surinamensis Bacteroides supplements precursors for cuticle synthesis, thereby enhancing the host's desiccation resistance. Reticulitermes flavipes Bacteroides has the ability to degrade urate (digestive enzymes/nitrogen recycling).	Bacteria	Digestive Enzymes Male Killing Stress Resistance	4
