Buchnera the nutritional endosymbiont of A. pisum is located inside of bacteriocytes and requires aspartate from the aphid host, because it cannot make it de novo. Further Buchnera needs aspartate for the biosynthesis of the essential amino acids lysine and threonine, which the aphid and Buchnera require for survival

process of regression from winged to wingless morph was inhibited by Serratia symbiotica. The existence of the symbiont did not affect the body mass and fecundity of adult aphids, but it increased the body weight of nymphs and temporally increased the quantity of a primary symbiont, Buchnera aphidicola
