localization and morphological variation of three bacteriome-inhabiting symbionts within a planthopper of the genus oliarus (hemiptera: cixiidae).	many planthoppers of the family cixiidae (hemiptera: fulgoroidea) host three bacteriome-inhabiting bacteria: a gammaproteobacterium: 'ca.purcelliella pentastirinorum', a betaproteobacterium: 'ca. vidania fulgoroidea', and a member of the bacteroidetes: 'ca.sulcia muelleri'. through light microscopy observations, dgge pcr and fish analysis, we examined the morphology and localization of these three endosymbionts within the abdomens of females of the planthopper oliarus filicicola. our results ind ...	2013	23864562
characterization and evolution of two bacteriome-inhabiting symbionts in cixiid planthoppers (hemiptera: fulgoromorpha: pentastirini).	like other plant sap-sucking insects, planthoppers within the family cixiidae (insecta: hemiptera: fulgoromorpha) host a diversified microbiota. we report the identification and first molecular characterization of symbiotic bacteria in cixiid planthoppers (tribe: pentastirini). using universal eubacterial primers we first screened the eubacterial 16s rrna sequences in pentastiridius leporinus (linnaeus) with pcr amplification, cloning, and restriction fragment analysis. we identified three main ...	2009	19758348
