	Host Insect	Classification	Localization	Function	Function Tags	Year	Edit
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Spodoptera litura Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	The ingestion of bacteria negatively affected the development and nutritional physiology of insect. The bacteria after successful establishment started degrading the gut wall and invaded the haemocoel thereby causing the death of the host.	Reproductive manipulation	2022
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Spodoptera littoralis Lepidoptera	Bacteria		producing an antimicrobial peptide	Antimicrobials	2020
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Spodoptera litura Lepidoptera	Bacteria		degrading flubendiamide	Pesticide metabolization	2019
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Bombyx mori Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	facilitate lactic acid production	Sugar metabolism	2018
Enterococcus mundtii EMB156 Bacillota	Bombyx mori Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	efficiently produces lactic acid	Nutrient provision	2018
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Ephestia kuehniella Lepidoptera	Bacteria		antimicrobial activity against Bacillus thuringiensis	Antimicrobials	2017
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Spodoptera littoralis Lepidoptera	Bacteria		secrete a stable class II bacteriocin, mundticin KS, against invading bacteria, facilitating the normal development of host gut microbiota	Antimicrobials	2017
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Spodoptera littoralis Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	actively secretes a stable class IIa bacteriocin (mundticin KS) against invading bacteria, but not against other gut residents, facilitating the normal development of host gut microbiota	Antimicrobials	2017
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Spodoptera littoralis Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	actively secretes a stable class IIa bacteriocin (mundticin KS) against invading bacteria, including the opportunistic pathogens E. faecalis and E. casseliflavus, but not against other gut residents, facilitating the normal development of host gut microbiota	Antimicrobials	2017
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Spodoptera frugiperda Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Intracellular	may influence the metabolization of pesticides in insects	Pesticide metabolization	2017
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Anticarsia gemmatalis Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	mitigation of the negative effects of proteinase inhibitors produced by the host plant	Plant secondary metabolites	2013
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Anticarsia gemmatalis Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	process serine- and cysteine-proteinase activities	Digestive enzymes	2013
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Anticarsia gemmatalis Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	Against plant-derived protease inhibitor; pest control		2013
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Anticarsia gemmatalis Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	allow the adaptation of this insect to plants rich in protease inhibitors, minimizing the potentially harmful consequences of protease inhibitors from some of this insect host plants, such as soybean	Plant secondary metabolites	2009
Enterococcus mundtii Bacillota	Anticarsia gemmatalis Lepidoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	protein hydrolase activity for proteases, serine proteases, and cysteine proteases	Growth and Development	2009
