Abstract BACKGROUND The tomato russet mite (TRM), Aculops lycopersici , is a strictly herbivorous and economically significant pest that infests Solanaceae plants, but its host suitability varies, showing high performance on tomatoes. Although symbiotic bacteria have been suggested to play crucial roles in the adaptation of herbivores, their effects TRM remain unclear. RESULTS In this study, using next generation high‐throughput sequencing bacterial 16S rRNA data, we identified diversity community composition feeding tomato, eggplant, chili. Our results show no difference across three plants. However, relative density Escherichia coli ( _ ) showed 9.36‐fold higher than eggplant These align with observed among When was reduced antibiotics, treated decreased population tomato. when transferred from increased, coinciding an increase density. indicate may affect TRM. fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) further primarily distributed salivary glands. Metagenomic data suggest functions food digestion energy metabolism. CONCLUSION We provided first comprehensive analysis communities. findings demonstrate bacterium different hosts. © 2024 Society Chemical Industry.
