Except for the presence of a lactate utilization pathway, cell-adhesion components and anti-phage defense systems in ZnDsv-02, the overall gene-loss pattern between the two genomes is very similar, including the loss of genes responsive to environmental changes. Our study suggests that genome ...

However, the prevalence and diversity of...
Draft genomes of four TG2/ZB3 phylotypes from a small number of bacterial cells were reconstructed, and functional genome analysis suggested that these bacteria hydrolyse and ferment cellulose/cellobiose to H2, CO2, acetate and ethanol. We also assembled a draft genome for a partner Treponema ...
Most gut protists, if not all, harbor prokaryotes as either endosymbionts that exclusively live within the host protist cells or ectosymbionts that firmly attach onto the cell surface of the host protists. These are characteristic features in the termite-gut community [1,31,32]. Endosymbiotic m...
(including flagellar membrane, axoneme, paraflagellar rod and adhesion of the flagellum to the cell body), and other structures such as (c) the kinetoplast-mitochondrion complex, (d) the sub-pellicular and cytoplasmic microtubules, (e) endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi complex system, (f) contractile...
