“…are important sources of lipase production, but several other microbes are used as well (Pandey et al 1999 ). Symbiotic microorganisms with potential lipase and/or protease activity have been isolated from insects, including Bacillus , Staphylococcus , Pseudomonas , Fusarium solani , Candida fermentati , Yarrowia lipolytica , and yeast-like symbionts from silkworm, long-horned beetles, cigarette beetles, cottony maple scale insects, and burying beetles, respectively (Brues and Glaser 1921 ; Vega and Dowd 2005 ; Park et al 2007 ; Feng et al 2011 ; Scully et al 2012 ; Kaltenpoth and Steiger 2014 ). Unfortunately, however, information on their relevance for host fitness or their potential for biotechnological application remains limited.…”
