Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia marcescens is a gut bacterium that demonstrates terpenoid-degrading activity, showing the highest degradation rates for D-camphor, linalool, and eucalyptol in Pagiophloeus tsushimanus larvae.

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia marcescens mediates the detoxification of organophosphate pesticide (dimethoate) in Riptortus pedestris by possessing an organophosphorus-degrading MBL-fold metallo-hydrolase gene. It also enhances host survivorship when exposed to the pesticide.

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia marcescens is a pathogenic bacterium whose ingestion negatively affects the development and nutritional physiology of Spodoptera litura. Its successful establishment degrades the gut wall and invades the haemocoel, causing host death.
