Insect bacteriocytes: adaptation, development, and evolution
JB Luan - Annual Review of Entomology, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Bacteriocytes are host cells specialized to harbor symbionts in certain insect taxa. The
adaptation, development, and evolution of bacteriocytes underlie insect symbiosis …

How it all begins: bacterial factors mediating the colonization of invertebrate hosts by beneficial symbionts
Beneficial associations with bacteria are widespread across animals, spanning a range of
symbiont localizations, transmission routes, and functions. While some of these associations …

Cuticle supplementation and nitrogen recycling by a dual bacterial symbiosis in a family of xylophagous beetles
Many insects engage in stable nutritional symbioses with bacteria that supplement limiting
essential nutrients to their host. While several plant sap-feeding Hemipteran lineages are …

Elucidation of host and symbiont contributions to peptidoglycan metabolism based on comparative genomics of eight aphid subfamilies and their Buchnera
Pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) are insects containing genes of bacterial origin with
putative functions in peptidoglycan (PGN) metabolism. Of these, rlpA1-5, amiD, and ldcA are …

Evolutionary history of tyrosine-supplementing endosymbionts in pollen-feeding beetles
Many insects feeding on nutritionally challenging diets like plant sap, leaves, or wood
engage in ancient associations with bacterial symbionts that supplement limiting nutrients or …
