Intracellular

recycling nitrogen and helping to synthesize amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides
Nitrogen fixation Nutrient provision

Bacteria
Intracellular

a modulation of immune gene expression which may facilitate tolerance towards the endosymbionts and thus may contribute to their transovarial transmission
Immune priming

Bacteria
Intracellular

nutritional contribution of the bacteria to host metabolism by production of essential amino acids and urease-mediated nitrogen recycling
Nitrogen fixation

Blochmannia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

produce ammonia from dietary urea and then use it as a source of nitrogen
Nitrogen fixation

2009

Camponotus

Hymenoptera
Bacteria
Intracellular

Blochmannia provide essential amino acids to its host,Camponotus floridanus, and that it may also play a role in nitrogen recycling via its functional urease
Nitrogen fixation Nutrient provision
