A bacterial strain, Pseudomonas bohemica strain ins3 was newly isolated as a resistant strain against high concentrations of hinokitiol. This strain was revealed not only to show resistance but also completely remove this compound from its culture broth. In addition, its mechanism was revealed to be independent of conventional aromatic dioxygenases, ie catechol-1,2- or 2,3-dioxygenases.

Background: Ips typographus (European spruce bark beetle) is the most destructive pest of spruce forests in Europe. As for other animals, it has been proposed that the microbiome plays important roles in the biology of bark beetles. About the bacteriome, there still are many uncertainties regarding the taxonomical composition, insect-bacteriome interactions, and their potential roles in the beetle ecology.

Antimicrobial resistance is a worldwide problem that threatens the effectiveness of treatments for microbial infection. Consequently, it is essential to study unexplored niches that can serve for the isolation of new microbial strains able to produce antimicrobial compounds to develop new drugs. Bark beetles live in phloem of host trees and establish symbioses with microorganisms that provide them with nutrients.
