Beneficial associations with bacteria are widespread across animals, spanning a range of
symbiont localizations, transmission routes, and functions. While some of these associations …

Burkholderia sensu lato (sl) species have a versatile metabolism. The aims of this review are
the genomic reconstruction of the metabolic pathways involved in the synthesis of …

The spatial organization of gut microbiota is crucial for the functioning of the gut ecosystem,
although the mechanisms that organize gut bacterial communities in microhabitats are only …

In addition to abiotic triggers, biotic factors such as microbial symbionts can alter
development of multicellular organisms. Symbiont-mediated morphogenesis is well …

In the symbiosis of the bean bug Riptortus pedestris with Burkholderia insecticola, the
bacteria occupy an exclusive niche in the insect midgut and favor insect development and …

Many stinkbugs in the superfamily Coreoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) develop crypts in the
posterior midgut, harboring Caballeronia (Burkholderia) symbionts. These symbionts form a …

The bean bug (Riptortus pedestris) causes great economic losses of soybeans by piercing
and sucking pods and seeds. Although R. pedestris has become the focus of numerous …

The establishment of symbioses between eukaryotic hosts and bacterial symbionts in nature
is a dynamic process. The formation of such relationships depends on the life history of both …

Distinct Burkholderia strains were isolated from soil samples collected in tropical northern
Australia (Northern Territory and the Torres Strait Islands, Queensland). Phylogenetic …

Caballeronia insecticola is a bacterium belonging to the Burkholderia genus sensu lato,
which is able to colonize multiple environments like soils and the gut of the bean bug …
