| bacterial symbionts of the giant jewel stinkbug eucorysses grandis (hemiptera: scutelleridae). | microbiological characterization of gut symbiotic bacteria in a limited number of stinkbugs of the families acanthosomatidae, plataspidae, pentatomidae, scutelleridae, parastrachiidae, alydidae and pyrrhocoridae has shown symbiotic association with midgut bacteria to be common in phytophagous taxa of these heteropteran insects. here we investigated the midgut bacterial symbiont of eucorysses grandis, a stinkbug of the family scutelleridae. a specific gammaproteobacterium was consistently identif ... | 2011 | 21385056 |
| primary gut symbiont and secondary, sodalis-allied symbiont of the scutellerid stinkbug cantao ocellatus. | symbiotic associations with midgut bacteria have been commonly found in diverse phytophagous heteropteran groups, where microbiological characterization of the symbiotic bacteria has been restricted to the stinkbug families acanthosomatidae, plataspidae, pentatomidae, alydidae, and pyrrhocoridae. here we investigated the midgut bacterial symbiont of cantao ocellatus, a stinkbug of the family scutelleridae. a specific gammaproteobacterium was consistently identified from the insects of different ... | 2010 | 20400564 |
