Isolation and Identification of Cellulolytic Bacteria from the Gut of Three Phytophagus Insect Species

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Divergence in Gut Bacterial Community Among Life Stages of the Rainbow Stag Beetle Phalacrognathus muelleri (Coleptera: Lucanidae)

“…Members of genera Dysgonomonas , Enterococcus are abundant in the adult stages, similar in the Odontolabis fallacios adults [ 34 ], Lactococcus , Trabulsiella , Neorickettsia , casseliflavus , Selenomonas were also found in the termites gut [ 61 ]. They were primarily involved in lignocellulose decomposition, food fermentation and enhancement of metabolic capacity of the host [ 4 , 62 , 63 ]. This information illustrated that different diets cause differences in gut bacteria, a result that has been reported in the scarab beetle, Popillia japonica [ 7 ], in the fruit fly Drosophila suzukiiis and in the pine weevil Hylobius abietis [ 52 , 64 ].…”

Effect of antibiotic on survival and development ofSpodoptera litura(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and its gut microbial diversity

“…In comparison to this only M. paraoxydans, B. methylotrophicus and B. amyloliquefaciens were present in the gut of S. litura larvae feeding on S+ diet. Some of the gut bacteria isolated from S. litura have previously been reported to be associated with lepidopteran guts as normal symbionts e.g., E. cloacae in laboratory reared Peridroma saucia (Huber) (Armstrong et al, 1989), S. sciuri in laboratory reared Mythimna separata (Walker) (He et al, 2013) and M. paraoxydans in wild larvae of Ostrinia nubilalis (Shil et al, 2014). Similar to our studies Rosengaus et al (2011) documented variation in diversity of gut microflora of two termite species, Zootermopsis angusticollis (Hagen) and Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) due to rifampin.…”

Bacterial communities associated with the gut of tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) based on Illumina Next-Generation Sequencing

“…The bacteria detected in H. armigera gut such as Acidobacterium sp, Clostridia sp, Microbacterium sp, Flavobacter johnsoni and Thermobia sp. were involved in digestion of cellulose in other insects (Castaneda and Mallol, 2013;Huang et al, 2012;Ngugi et al, 2005;Reid et al, 2011;Shil et al, 2014). However, Pseudonocardia sp and Clostridia sp detected in H. armigera was responsible for degradation lignocelluloses in wood feeding beetles and termites (Rizzi et al, 2013;Lynd et al, 2002).…”
