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

Bacteria

Burkholderia insecticola stimulates the sprouting of tracheal branches toward the symbiont-infected M4 crypts (developmental modulation) in Riptortus pedestris.
Developmental Modulation

2021
Bacteria

Burkholderia insecticola triggers midgut closure in the bean bug Riptortus pedestris to prevent secondary bacterial infections of midgut crypts.

Bacteria

Burkholderia insecticola strain RPE75 provides the host with essential, limited nutrients, contributing to rapid growth and enhanced reproduction, by processing specific nutrients and recycling host metabolic wastes.
