aphidicola in the pea aphid is 0.64 Mb in size and lacks numerous genes required for a free-living lifestyle, being non-viable outside the host body [21]. In addition to the primary symbiont Buchnera, aphids also possess one or more vertically transmitted facultative symbionts such as ...
The symbiotic bacteria reside in specialized host cells called bacteriocytes, and are vertically transmitted from the mother to the offspring. Transition to an obligate intracellular lifestyle in bacteria triggers a cascade of changes that shape the genome structure and content, leading to a ...

Genes for infectivity and endocellular lifestyle of symbiotic X-bacteria (Candiatus “Legionella jeonii”) in Amoeba proteusdoi:10.1111/j.1550-7408.2005.05202003_1_83.xCandiatus “Legionella jeonii” is an obligate endocellular symbiont in Amoeba proteus and cannot be cultivated in vitro. In ...
But in addition to life-prolonging initiatives, perhaps another consideration is to evaluate some of your daily habits to see if they might be contributing to a shortened life. Your overall lifestyle is the key to living as long as possible. While there are certain things completely out of ...
In numerous host-microbe systems, bacteria aid holobiont health and functioning via structuring of the microbiome [8–10], provisioning of (essential) metabolites or nutrients [11–13] mitigat- ing stress responses [14, 15], or changes in their host's life history [16]. Bacteria in corals ...
The pentatomoid family Cydnidae comprises over 144 genera and at least 1,185 species worldwide, many of which are known as “burrower bugs” due to their fossorial lifestyle, sucking plant roots and seeds [54]. Vertical symbiont transmission has been observed in four cydnid species,Cydnus ...
The size of bacterial genomes is often associated with organismal metabolic capabilities determining ecological breadth and lifestyle. The recently proposed Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR)/Patescibacteria encompasses mostly unculturable bacterial taxa with relatively small genome sizes with potential for co‐...
the idea that the abundance of Verrucomicrobia in the root microbiome may be greater than originally thought [75]. While it is also possible that our primers also underestimate the frequency of Verrucomicrobia in our samples too, our results hint at a more generalist lifestyle of some ...
Eight other strains of bacteria (Table 1) isolated from the cyanosphere of MF-905 were used in the co-culture experiments in addition to JXJ CY 53 T. Purified MF-905 were co-cultured with attached bacteria as described previously (Xiao et al. 2022b), and the final cellular densities of...
