- The dominant bacterial genus in the cotton bollworm's midgut is Enterococcus, with species Enterococcus mundtii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Fusarium venenatum, and Bacillus cereus being prevalent.
- Six strains of bacteria (Ba 1 to Ba 6) capable of degrading dsRNA were identified, with Ba 3 and Ba 6 exhibiting the highest nuclease activity.
- Whole genome sequencing identified Ba 1 and Ba 5 as Bacillus altitudinis, and Ba 2, Ba 3, Ba 4, and Ba 6 as Bacillus cereus.
- Feeding cotton bollworms with Ba 6 increased its abundance in the gut and altered bacterial composition at the phylum and genus levels.
- Fluorescently labeled dsRNA injected into Ba 6-colonized cotton bollworms showed a significant reduction in fluorescence intensity, indicating dsRNA degradation.
- Ribonuclease was identified in the Ba 6 supernatant, and its presence was confirmed; recombinant Ribonuclease demonstrated rapid dsRNA degradation in vitro.
