Tapping the biotechnological potential of insect microbial symbionts: new insecticidal porphyrins
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
The demand for sustainable agricultural practices and the limited progress toward newer and safer chemicals for use in pest control maintain the impetus ...
Bacterial communities in the midgut of Ponerine ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ponerinae)
(2016-03-01)
Symbiotic microorganisms are directly related to the ecological success of host insects, influencing many aspects of their biology. The present study is the first to investigate the microbiota associated with ants of the ...
Genome reduction in the mosquito symbiont Asaia
(2019-01-01)
Symbiosis is now recognized as a driving force in evolution, a role that finds its ultimate expression in the variety of associations bonding insects with microbial symbionts. These associations have contributed to the ...
Endosymbiosis in trypanosomatids: the genomic cooperation between bacterium and host in the synthesis of essential amino acids is heavily influenced by multiple horizontal gene transfers
(2013-09-09)
Abstract
Background
Trypanosomatids of the genera Angomonas and Strigomonas live in a mutualistic association characterized by extensive metabolic cooperation with obligate ...

Population Dynamics and Growth Rates of Endosymbionts During Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera, Liviidae) Ontogeny
(Springer, 2014-11-01)
The infection density of symbionts is among the major parameters to understand their biological effects in host-endosymbionts interactions. Diaphorina citri harbors two bacteriome-associated bacterial endosymbionts (Candidatus ...
First identification of bacterial endosymbionts in three South-American spittlebug pests: Notozulia entreriana, Deois mourei and Deois knoblauchii
(Alma Mater Studiorum, Università di Bologna, 2022-06)
Spittlebugs cause major pasture damage in the Neotropics. As most xylem-feeders, they depend on microbial symbionts to supply essential amino acids to their diet. Here, the obligate nutritional endosymbiont ‘Candidatus ...
Proteolytic activity of gut bacteria isolated from the velvet bean caterpillar Anticarsia gemmatalis
(Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2018)
A Coxiella mutualist symbiont is essential to the development of Rhipicephalus microplus
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
