The role of abiotic environmental conditions and herbivory in shaping bacterial community composition in floral nectar
TL;DR: Similar bacterial communities found in the nectar and on the surface of the bugs that were documented visiting the flowers imply that floral nectar bacteria dispersal is shaped not only by air borne bacteria and nectar consumers, but also by visiting vectors like the mirid bugs.
Re-identification of Aeromonas isolates from chironomid egg masses as the potential pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas aquariorum.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that chironomid egg masses harbour strains of A. aquariorum, which bear an important number of virulence genes, and that this species was misidentified originally as A. caviae.

Chironomid egg masses harbour the clinical species Aeromonas taiwanensis and Aeromonas sanarellii.
TL;DR: Two new clinical species of Aeromonas taiwanensis and sanarellii were identified from chironomid egg masses from the same area in Israel by sequencing the rpoD gene, which represents a new environmental habitat for these novel species.

Aeromonas chitinase degrades chironomid egg masses
TL;DR: Although strain 3K1C15 secretes chitinases constitutively, most Aeromonas strains secrete chit inases inductively, it is assumed that the role of this enzyme in the bacteria-insect interplay could be wider than is currently thought.

TL;DR: The features of this organism are described, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation, and the genome is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, Phase I: the one thousand microbial genomes (KMG) project.
