Background | Red soldier bugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) feed on dry seeds of lime trees and mallows. The third bulbous midgut portion of the intestine forms a habitat for bacteria, which help the bugs digest their food. In aerobic cultures several species of Streptococcus and Hafnia were found, while under anaerobic conditions a heterofermentative bacterium, Coriobacterium glomerans, was isolated. C. glomerans was associated with all life stages of the bugs except the eggs. The cells form chains of pear-shaped to irregularly shaped rods, attached to intestinal epithelia, which can reach lengths of up to 150 um into the adult red soldier bug's gut lumen. The length of individual cells varies from 0.44 to 1.80 um. The bacteria are obligately anaerobic, Gram-positive and do not produce spores or flagella. They are not obligate symbionts and can grow isolated in culture (adapted from Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. (1988) 8:382-384). (HAMAP: CORGP) |
