	Host Insect	Classification	Localization	Function	Function Tags	Year	Edit
Lactococcus lactis Bacillota	Bactrocera dorsalis China	Bacteria		Lactococcus lactis increases the resistance of Bactrocera dorsalis to \beta-cypermethrin by regulating cytochrome P450 (P450) and α-glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities via the CncC pathway.	Pesticide Metabolization	2024
Lactococcus Bacillota	Novius pumilus China	Bacteria		Lactococcus is predicted to carry genes related to hydrocarbon, fatty acid, and chitin degradation, potentially assisting the host, Novius pumilus, in digesting the wax shell covering scale insects.	Chitin Degradation Chemical Biosynthesis	2024
Lactococcus lactis Bacillota	Ceratitis capitata Tunisian	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus lactis (as part of a probiotic consortium) significantly influences the intestinal microbiota structure, leading to improved functional potential and increased carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) in Ceratitis capitata.	Carbohydrates Enzymes	2024
Lactococcus Bacillota	Tenebrio molitor China	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus is associated with the biodegradation of polyethylene (PE), supporting the plastic biodegradation capability of Tenebrio molitor larvae.	Plastic Degration	2023
Lactococcus lactis B1None3 Bacillota	Riptortus pedestris South Korea	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus lactis B1None3 (a gut strain) can be utilized as a probiotic to increase the survival rate of the host, Riptortus pedestris.	Probiotic	2023
Lactococcus lactis B1None3 Bacillota	Riptortus pedestris South Korea	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus lactis B1None3 (a gut strain) can be utilized as a probiotic to increase the survival rate of the host, Riptortus pedestris.	Probiotic	2023
Lactococcus Bacillota	Odontotaenius disjunctus USA	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus plays a role in degrading cellulose and xylan within the wood fibers of the hindgut of the wood-feeding beetle Odontotaenius disjunctus.	Cellulose Hydrolysis Xylan Hydrolysis	2023
Lactococcus sp. Bacillota	Hypothenemus hampei Hawai’i, Mexico	Bacteria		Lactococcus sp. might contribute to caffeine breakdown using the C-8 oxidation pathway (detoxification) in Hypothenemus hampei.	Detoxification Enzymes	2021
Lactococcus lactis Bacillota	Oulema melanopus Poland	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus lactis contributes to the decomposition of complex carbohydrates, fatty acids, or polysaccharides in the Oulema melanopus gut, and might also contribute to the improvement of nutrient availability.	Carbohydrate Metabolism Lipase	2021
Lactococcus Bacillota	Monochamus alternatus China	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus may help Monochamus alternatus degrade cellulose and pinene.	Cellulose Hydrolysis	2020
Lactococcus lactis NBRC 1NoneNone933 Bacillota	Oryctes rhinoceros China	Bacteria		Lactococcus lactis NBRC 1NoneNone933 is a gut microbe in Oryctes rhinoceros.	Other	2020
Lactococcus lactis strain BD5 Bacillota	Bactrocera dorsalis Kenya	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus lactis strain BD5 promotes the growth of larvae in Bactrocera dorsalis.	Growth Regulation	2020
Lactococcus lactis Bacillota	Rhynchophorus ferrugineus China	Bacteria	Extracellular	Lactococcus lactis promotes the development and body mass gain of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (RPW) larvae by improving their nutrition metabolism.	Nutrient Provision Growth Regulation	2019
Lactococcus Bacillota	Bactrocera dorsalis China	Bacteria	Extracellular			2015
Lactococcus sp. clone KP2NoneW4 Bacillota	Pyrrhocoris apterus Germany	Bacteria		Lactococcus sp. clone KP20W4 plays an important role by degrading complex dietary components, providing nutrient supplementation, or detoxifying noxious chemicals (e.g., cyclopropenoic fatty acids or gossypol) in the diet.	Detoxification Enzymes	2012
