DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1079550
Abstract: Associated microbes of several herbivorous insects can improve insect fitness. However, the contribution of specific insect gut bacterium to plant toxin toxification for its host fitness remains scarce. Here, a gut bacterium Raoultella terrigena from… read more here.
