title: The influence of potato endophytes on Leptinotarsa decemlineata endosymbionts promotes mortality of the pest.
abstract: Plants are exposed to pervasive attack by diverse attackers, such as pathogens and pests. But plants have their own endophytic microflora as well as the attacking insects. These microbiomes contact face to face in the nature. It has been found that the endophytic strain Bacillus subtilis 26D increases mortality of Colorado potato beetles, disturbing the development of insect microsymbionts Enterobacter ssp. and Acinetobacter ssp.
