Serratia symbiotica is a species of bacteria that lives as a symbiont of aphids. [1] In the aphid Cinara cedri , it coexists with Buchnera aphidicola , given the latter cannot produce tryptophan. [2] It is also known to habitate in Aphis fabae . [3] Together with other endosymbionts, it provides aphids protection against parasitoids.
