Large-Scale Sampling Reveals the Strain-Level Diversity of <i>Burkholderia</i> Symbionts in <i>Riptortus pedestris</i> and <i>R. linearis</i> (Hemiptera: Alydidae) by Xin-Rui Hou, Si-Ying Fu, Yuan Wang, Jia-Yue Zhou, Tian-Yi Qi, Yan-Fei Li, Wen-Jun Bu, Huai-Jun Xue

“…Our results showed that: (1) the proportions of facultative symbiotic bacteria <i>Burkholderia</i> were very high, with an average proportion of 87.1% in the samples; (2) only six out of 1373 <i>Burkholderia</i> amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) did not belong to the SBE clade, accounting for only 0.03% of <i>Burkholderia</i>; (3) a relatively small number of <i>Burkholderia</i> ASVs had a large number of sequences, with 22, 54, and 107 ASVs accounting for more than 1.0%, 0.1%, and 0.01% of the total <i>Burkholderia</i> sequences, respectively; (4) multiple <i>Burkholderia</i> ASVs were present in most <i>Riptortus</i> individuals, but there was one dominant or two codominant ASVs, and codominance was more likely to occur when the genetic distance between the two codominant ASVs was small; and (5) the beta diversity of <i>Burkholderia</i> was significantly different between the two host species (PerMANOVA: both Jaccard and Bray–Curtis, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and among localities (PerMANOVA: both Jaccard and Bray–Curtis, <i>p</i> < 0.001). …”
