“…The results showed that the midgut microbiome was significantly enriched in the larvae feeding on bamboo rather than wood fiber, with Enterobacter and Turicibacter as the most enriched genera. Previous studies have shown that the genus Enterobacter contains a variety of bacterial species capable of degrading cellulose in various environments, including bovine stomachs ( 31 ), soil ( 32 ), and insect guts ( 33 , 34 ). Turicibacter is predominantly found in the fermentation process of composting ( 8 , 29 ); however, its role in the degradation of lignocellulose has not yet been determined.…”

“…Muribaculaceae, Brucellaceae, Ochrobactrum , Pseudochrobactrum , and Escherichia belong to the Proteobacteria. Ochrobactrum can degrade pesticides and help Termitidae degrade lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose ( Fathollahi et al., 2021 ). Brucellaceae may be related to the metabolism of heavy metals in insects ( Wu et al., 2020 ).…”

Background Spodoptera frugiperda, the fall armyworm is a destructive invasive pest, and S. litura the tobacco cutworm, is a native species closely related to S. frugiperda. The gut microbiota plays a vital role in insect growth, development, metabolism and immune system. Research on the competition between invasive species and closely related native species has focused on differences in the adaptability of insects to the environment. Little is known about gut symbiotic microbe composition and its role in influencing competitive differences between these two insects. Methods We used a culture-independent approach targeting the 16S rRNA gene of gut bacteria of 5th instar larvae of S. frugiperda and S. litura. Larvae were reared continuously on maize leaves for five generations. We analyzed the composition, abundance, diversity, and metabolic function of gut microbiomes of S. frugiperda and S. litura larvae. Results Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant bacterial phyla in both species. Enterococcus, ZOR0006, Escherichia, Bacteroides, and Lactobacillus were the genera with the highest abundance in S. frugiperda. Enterococcus, Erysipelatoclostridium, ZOR0006, Enterobacter, and Bacteroides had the highest abundance in S. litura. According to α-diversity analysis, the gut bacterial diversity of S. frugiperda was significantly higher than that of S. litura. KEGG analysis showed 15 significant differences in metabolic pathways between S. frugiperda and S. litura gut bacteria, including transcription, cell growth and death, excretory system and circulatory system pathways. Conclusion In the same habitat, the larvae of S. frugiperda and S. litura showed significant differences in gut bacterial diversity and community composition. Regarding the composition and function of gut bacteria, the invasive species S. frugiperda may have a competitive advantage over S. litura. This study provides a foundation for developing control strategies for S. frugiperda and S. litura.

“…( 16 , 17 ). Most host-specific phytophagous insects have a core group of microorganisms affected by the main PSM ( 2 , 13 , 18 , 19 ). Host-specific insects are therefore good model organisms for studying the resistance of functional gut microbiome to specific chemicals.…”
