“…For insects that survive on protein-poor diets such as honeydew and plant sap, the symbiotic bacteria provide amino acids as nutritional support and contribute to fitness of the host (Feldhaar et al, 2007). The use of high-throughput sequencing technology revealed a diverse group of Acetobacteraceae taxa constituting insect-associated microbial community including ants (Brown and Wernegreen, 2019), bees (Crotti et al, 2013) and fruit flies (Kounatidis et al, 2009, Yong et al, 2019. These Acetobacteraceae taxa are known to survive acidic environment in insect guts and tolerate sugar-rich diets of the host (Crotti et al, 2016).…”

In this study, bacterial strains Ha5 T , Ta1 and Jb2 were isolated from different colonies of weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina. They were distinguished as different strains based on matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and distinctive randomamplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprints. Cells of these bacterial strains were Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, non-motile, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. They were able to grow at 15-37°C (optimum, 28-30°C) and in the presence of 0-1.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0%). Their predominant cellular fatty acids were C18:1 ω7c, C16:0, C19:0 ω8c cyclo, C14:0 and C16:0 2-OH. Strains Ha5 T , Ta1 and Jb2 shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (94.56-94.63%) with Neokomagataea tanensis NBRC106556 T but were phylogenetically closer to Bombella spp. and Saccharibacter floricola DSM15669 T . Both 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis and core gene-based phylogenomic analysis placed them in a distinct lineage in family Acetobacteraceae.These bacterial strains shared higher than species level thresholds in multiple overall genomerelatedness indices which indicated that they belonged to the same species. In addition, they did not belong to any of the current taxa of Acetobacteraceae as they had low pairwise average nucleotide identity (70.7%), in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (39.5%) and average amino acid identity

“…Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock 1994 (Diptera:Tephritidae), a mosca-dacarambola, é uma praga agrícola invasiva responsável por severos danos a várias frutíferas no sudeste da Ásia e na América do Sul, motivo pelo qual é uma praga quarentenária em diversos países (Yong, et al, 2019), inclusive o Brasil, onde se configura como uma importante barreira fitossanitária para a exportação de frutas frescas e com potencial de dispersão para importantes áreas produtoras (Castilho et al, 2019;Pasinato et al, 2019).…”

Os insetos-praga representam uma importante fonte de perdas agrícolas em todo o globo. Situação que é maximizada pela introdução de espécies fora da sua área natural de ocorrência, levando os países a elaborarem listas de quarentena a fim de proteger sua produção interna e não comprometerem suas exportações de produtos agrícolas. Nesse sentido, essa pesquisa busca revisar e analisar o potencial invasivo e riscos da Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock 1994 (Diptera:Tephritidae), importante praga da fruticultura mundial e praga quarentenária presente no Brasil. Bactrocera carambolae é uma espécie de mosca-das-frutas oriunda do sudeste asiático e que infesta uma grande diversidade de frutíferas, tanto nativas, como de interesse econômico. No Brasil, seu registro inicial é datado de 1996 no estado do Amapá, e atualmente além desse estado, foi reportada nos estados do Pará e Roraima. No país já infesta 21 hospedeiros, entre eles acerola, carambola, caju, goiaba, manga e tangerina, e apresenta potencial de adentrar mercados agrícolas importantes, como o polo de fruticultura irrigada do Vale do São Francisco. Bactrocera carambolae representa sérios riscos para a fruticultura brasileira, principalmente pela potencial exclusão de mercados para exportação de frutas. Dessa forma, ações de controle e erradicação dessa praga precisam ser mantidas e aperfeiçoadas, buscando-se evitar severos danos socioeconômicos para a cadeia produtiva de frutas no Brasil.
