Out of 146 bacterial strains obtained from 20 adult specimens of Scolytidae sp., 50 specimens of Oulema melanopus, and 150 specimens of Diabrotica virgifera, we selected 11 strains displaying the following: PGP, phosphate solubility, production of cellulase, siderophore, lipase, protease, and hydrogen cyanide. The strains were tested for growth promotion ability on tomato (Lycopersicon\u00a0esculentum) plants. Each strain was tested individually, and all strains were tested together as a bacterial consortium. Tomato fruit yield was compared with the negative control. The plants treated with bacterial consortium showed a significant increase in fruit yield, in both number of fruits (+41%) and weight of fruits (+44%). The second highest yield was obtained for treatment with Serratia\u00a0liquefaciens Dv032 strain, where the number and weight of yielded fruits increased by 35% and 30%, respectively. All selected 11 strains were obtained from Western Corn Rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera. The consortium comprised: Ewingella americana, Lactococcus garvieae, L. lactis, Pseudomonas putida, Serratia liquefaciens, and S. plymuthica. To our knowledge, this is the first successful application of D. virgifera gut bacteria for tomato plant growth stimulation that has been described.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms232113548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,8]],"date-time":"2022-11-08T11:56:36Z","timestamp":1667908596000},"page":"13548","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Insect Gut Bacteria Promoting the Growth of Tomato Plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6279-4921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Krawczyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Virusology and Bacteriology, Institute of Plant Protection-National Research Institute, W\u0142adys\u0142awa W\u0119gorka 20, 60-318 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1806-0891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alicja","family":"Szabelska-Ber\u0119sewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematical and Statistical Methods, Pozna\u0144 University of Life Sciences, 28 Wojska Polskiego St, 60-624 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1222-0310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian Wojciech","family":"Przemieniecki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Phytopathology and Molecular Diagnostics, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Prawoche\u0144skiego 17, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Szyma\u0144czyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Breeding and Agriculture Technology for Fibrous and Energy Plants, Wojska Polskiego 70B, 60-630 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Obr\u0119palska-St\u0119plowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Institute of Plant Protection\u2014National Research Institute, 20 W\u0119gorka St, 60-318 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scienta.2007.01.031","article-title":"Alteration of Tomato Fruit Quality by Root Inoculation with Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR): Bacillus Subtilis BEB-13bs","volume":"113","year":"2007","journal-title":"Sci.
