Delftia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Delftia exhibits antibiotic activity, suggesting a potential protective role against pathogens for the host, Osmia cornifrons.
Pathogen Resistance

2024
Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia cepacia BsNLG8 enhances the host's resistance against Nicotine-induced stress by contributing to the expression of the immune gene Defensin A.
Immune Priming

2024
Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Burkholderia is an ingested soil bacterium that primes the host's systemic immunity, preventing subsequent infection by lethal pathogens in Riptortus pedestris.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia is commonly found in the gut of Coccinella septempunctata and may exhibit nitrogen fixation abilities and trigger the expression of disease resistance genes.
Nitrogen Fixation

2024
Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia enrichment in the host gut plays a significant role in enhancing the reproduction (fertility) of the plant-sucking insect, Riptortus pedestris.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Burkholderia gut symbiont enhances the ovarian development and egg production (fecundity) of Riptortus pedestris by modulating Kr-h1 gene expression and increasing the biosynthesis of hexamerin-α and vitellogenin.

Ralstonia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

2023
Bacteria
Extracellular

Caballeronia insecticola (gut symbiont) results in an increase in the body size and weight of male adults and increased dispersal capacity (especially flight) of male Riptortus pedestris.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Bacteria
Extracellular

Caballeronia jiangsuensis significantly enhances the development, body size, and reproductive potentials (fertility) of Riptortus pedestris under laboratory conditions.
Fertility Growth Regulation

2023
Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia insecticola induces the development of the midgut crypts by regulating enterocyte cell cycles, allowing the symbiont to stably and abundantly colonize the resulting spacious crypts of Riptortus pedestris.
Developmental Modulation

2023
Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Burkholderia is a gut bacterium involved in the detoxification and metabolic breakdown of pesticides in Endoclita signifer.
Pesticide Metabolization

2023
Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Burkholderia is an ectosymbiont whose removal significantly impairs the survival probability of young Lagria villosa larvae when exposed to pathogenic fungi, indicating a chemical protection role during molting.
Antimicrobial Activity

2022
Caballeronia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Caballeronia prevents the successful, long-term establishment of the phytopathogenic bacterium Serratia marcescens in the squash bug Anasa tristis via competitive exclusion.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia has a significant positive effect on the developmental rate and body weight of the host Leptoglossus zonatus.

Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Burkholderia (symbiotic nymphs) grew more rapidly, were approximately four times more likely to survive to adulthood, and were two times larger than aposymbiotic Leptoglossus zonatus bugs.
