Kerrialacca (Kerr), a sap sucking insect, is widely grown commercially on Butea monosperma (Palas), Schleicheraoleosa (Kusum), Ziziphusmauritania(Ber) and Flemingiasemialata in India. Lac insects secrete resin, wax and dye for self-protection, which have numerous applications in different fields. Lac cultivation is one of the major sources of income for the tribal community of the country. Kusmi lac insects is specific to India and contribute good quality and quantity lac. Lac insects live on nutrient-poor diets of phloem sap; hence to compensate for other important nutrients they have evolved obligate associations with microorganisms. Endosymbionts are supposed to have various roles in insect development and physiology. Some bacteria consociates with lac insects have been identified and understood, but several remain unknown. Our objective is to identify the diversity and variation of endosymbiotic bacteria in kusmilac insects grown on kusum, berandsemialatausing molecular methods. We followed culturing method to isolate bacterial endosymbionts from kusmi lac insects from different host plants. 16S rDNA of the bacterial isolates were amplified and sequenced for their identification, which could be used to decipher their role in lac insects. This study shows ten different bacteria to be associated with lac insects and differences in the bacterial species from lac insects grown on different host plants. Our study would contribute to a broader understanding of the diversity of endosymbionts and their symbiotic associations with lac insects. Not Available |
