The mutualistic symbiotic relationship between insects and bacteria greatly influences the growth development of host insects. Tessaratoma javanica (Thunberg) (Hemiptera: Tessaratomidae), also referred to as litchi stink bug, has recently been established an important insect pest Litchi chinensis Sonn. causes substantial yield loss in India. To design effective environmentally safe management strategies, understanding diversity functions microbiota harbored across stages is very important. assessment development-associated T. their predicted was conducted using 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained by Illumina MiSeq technology. result showed that taxonomic analysis associated different developmental includes a total 46 phyla, encompassing 139 classes, 271 orders, 474 families, 893 genera bacteria. All shared 42.82 percent operational units (OTUs), with 97% similarity threshold. Alpha indices maximum species richness egg adult stages. phyla Proteobacteria followed Firmicutes, Bacteriodetes, Actinobacteria, exhibited highest levels abundance all javanica. Microbiota were most 4th nymphal stage (χ2 =711.67) least 2nd instars = 44.45). are mainly involved amino acid metabolism, cell motility, cellular processes signaling, glycan biosynthesis lipid membrane transport. present study documentation information on life will prompt novel biological strategies.
