S. philanthi protect the offspring from opportunistic pathogens by producing antibiotics ,the beewolf protects S. philanthi from oxidative and nitrosative damage by producing protective enzymes and embalming the symbiont in a secretion containing long-chain hydrocarbons

secretes albomycin to inhibit the growth of entomopathogens suggests that Streptomyces globisporus subsp. globisporus may be involved in defensive symbiosis with the Messor structor ant against infections

contribute brood ball hygiene by inhibiting fungal parasites in the environment

provides protection to the developing offspring against pathogenic microorganisms

resulting in a rich repertoire of antimicrobials, inhibit a fungal entomopathogen, Metarhizium anisopliae

this bacterium produces antimicrobial compounds that are active against Hirsutella citriformis, a natural fungal enemy of its host, and the human pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans

gut microbe

Cycloheximide is produced, which inhibits the growth of parasitic fungi Nectria spp. and protects mutualistic fungi Raffaelea spp.

secondary metabolites derived from a Streptomyces sp. displayed significant inhibitory activity against hexokinase II

produce Bombyxamycin A which showed significant antibacterial and antiproliferative effects

producing antibiotic, exhibit antimicrobial activity, mainly to Gram-positive bacteria and fungi

producing porphyrin, a insecticidal compounds

defend the developing larvae against pathogens by producing a mixture of at least nine antimicrobial substances on the cocoon surface

host cultivate the actinomycete in specialized antennal gland reservoirs. Then symbionts are transferred to the larval cocoon, where they provide protection against pathogenic fungi by producing at least nine different antibiotics.

symbiont makes multiple antifungals, including Antimycins A1–A4, which support the fungus farming

degrading woody substrates and that such degradation may assist in nutrient acquisition by S. noctilio, thus contributing to its ability to be established in forested habitats worldwide
