Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Host plant species significantly influenced the diversity and composition of oral microbiota in S. litura and S. frugiperda.
- Intervention effect Oral microbiota of insects feeding on bok choy had significantly higher Sobs richness and Shannon diversity than those feeding on peanut or maize.
- Association Brevibacterium, Staphylococcus and Microbacterium were enriched in the oral microbiota of both insect species consuming bok choy.
- Association Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, Brachybacterium and Rhodococcus were enriched in the oral microbiota of both insect species consuming bok choy.
- Association Distinct bacterial taxa accumulated in the oral microbiota of insects feeding on peanut and maize.
- Association Microbial ligninolysis capacity of the oral microbiota was positively associated with leaf lignin content and herbivore performance.
- Association The ligninolysis trait of the oral microbiota is primarily associated with Brevibacterium and Rhodococcus.
- Method / resource Isolated strain Brevibacterium sedimins OS20 achieved 41.01% lignin loss in litter after 60 days in microcosm.
