	Host Insect	Classification	Localization	Function	Function Tags	Year	Edit
Blattabacterium Bacteroidota	Supella longipalpa USA	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium endosymbionts directly or indirectly influence the composition of other bacterial populations by reducing microbial diversity within the host, Supella longipalpa.	Other	2024
Blattabacterium cuenoti Bacteroidota	Blattella germanica Spain	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium cuenoti serves as the obligate endosymbiont and primary nutritional provider, contributing to amino acid provision and affecting uric acid storage in Blattella germanica.	Amino Acid Provision	2024
Blattabacterium cuenoti Bacteroidota	Panesthiinae Australian	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium cuenoti is an endosymbiont whose presence enables its host (Panesthiinae cockroach) to subsist on a nutrient-poor diet.	Amino Acid Provision	2024
Blattabacterium Bacteroidota	Celatoblatta quinquemaculata New Zealand	Bacteria		Blattabacterium is associated with contributing to the freeze-tolerance of the insect host, Celatoblatta quinquemaculata.	Temparature Adaptation	2023
Blattabacterium cuenoti Bacteroidota	Cryptocercus punctulatus USA	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium cuenoti is involved in collaborative arginine biosynthesis for the host Cryptocercus punctulatus.	Amino Acid Provision	2022
Blattabacterium cuenoti Bacteroidota	Mastotermes darwiniensis USA	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium cuenoti is involved in collaborative arginine biosynthesis for the host Mastotermes darwiniensis.	Amino Acid Provision	2022
Blattabacterium sp. Bacteroidota	Periplaneta fuliginosa Japan	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium sp. is involved in uric acid degradation, nitrogen assimilation, and nutrient provisioning.	Nitrogen Fixation Amino Acid Provision	2018
Blattabacterium sp. Bacteroidota	Periplaneta japonica Japan	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium sp. is involved in uric acid degradation, nitrogen assimilation, and nutrient provisioning.	Nitrogen Fixation Amino Acid Provision	2018
Blattabacterium cuenoti Bacteroidota	Blatta orientalis Spain	Bacteria				2013
Blattabacterium Bacteroidota	Mastotermes darwiniensis Australia	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium uses nitrogenous wastes in the biosynthesis of essential amino acids and vitamins.	Nitrogen Fixation Amino Acid Provision Vitamin Supplementation	2012
Blattabacterium strain Bge Bacteroidota	Blattella germanica Spain	Bacteria		Blattabacterium strain Bge codes for the complete urea cycle that, in combination with urease, produces ammonia as an end product for nitrogen recycling.	Nitrogen Fixation	2009
Blochmannia Pseudomonadota	Blattella germanica Spain	Bacteria		Blochmannia produces ammonia from dietary urea and then uses it as a source of nitrogen.	Nitrogen Fixation	2009
Blattabacterium str. BPLAN Bacteroidota	Periplaneta americana USA	Bacteria		Blattabacterium str. BPLAN recycles nitrogen from urea and ammonia (uric acid degradation products) into glutamate, using urease and glutamate dehydrogenase.	Nitrogen Fixation	2009
Blattabacterium Bacteroidota	Supella longipalpa India	Bacteria	Intracellular			2007
Blattabacterium Bacteroidota	Periplaneta americana USA, Australia	Bacteria	Intracellular	Blattabacterium is equipped to provision vitamins and a near-complete suite of amino acids to its host, which may reduce the host's reliance on the gut microbiome for these functions (amino acid provision, vitamin supplementation).	Amino Acid Provision Vitamin Supplementation	2014
