Abstract

From supplementing essential nutrients to detoxifying plant secondary metabolites and insecticides, bacterial symbionts are a key source of adaptations for herbivorous insect pests. Despite the pervasiveness and geographical range of the bean beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus , the role of microbial symbioses in its natural history remains understudied.
