Guts Bacterial Communities of Porcellio dilatatus: Symbionts Predominance, Functional Significance and Putative Biotechnological Potential

“…The Candidatus Hepatoplasma is a known bacterial symbiont specifically associated with midgut glands of terrestrial isopods [3]. Its acquisition is considered a potential evolutionary prerequisite for terrestrial colonization by isopods [3,31], since isopods harboured Candidatus Hepatoplasma have an enhanced ability to survive in nutritional stress conditions [32].…”
