Systematic identification of gene families for use as markers for phylogenetic and phylogeny- driven ecological studies of bacteria and archaea and their major subgroups [PDF]
, 2013 With the astonishing rate that the genomic and metagenomic sequence data sets are accumulating, there are many reasons to constrain the data analyses.

Chlamydial infection from outside to inside [PDF]
, 2019 Chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria, characterized by a unique biphasic developmental cycle. Specific interactions with the host cell are crucial for the bacteria's survival and amplification because of the reduced chlamydial genome.

Chlamydiae has contributed at least 55 genes to Plantae with predominantly plastid functions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:The photosynthetic organelle (plastid) originated via primary endosymbiosis in which a phagotrophic protist captured and harnessed a cyanobacterium.

Pathogen-host reorganization during Chlamydia invasion revealed by cryo-electron tomography [PDF]
, 2014 Invasion of host cells is a key early event during bacterial infection, but the underlying pathogen-host interactions are yet to be fully visualised in three-dimensional detail.

Interaction of different Chlamydiae species with bovine spermatozoa
BMC Microbiology, 2019 Background Interaction of spermatozoa and Chlamydiae spp. might contribute to reduced fertility in cattle. To proof this hypothesis, bovine semen was incubated with viable or heat inactivated Chlamydia (C.) abortus or psittaci (Multiplicity of infection =

Amoebal endosymbiont Parachlamydia acanthamoebae Bn9 can grow in immortal human epithelial HEp-2 cells at low temperature; an in vitro model system to study chlamydial evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ancient chlamydiae diverged into pathogenic and environmental chlamydiae 0.7-1.4 billion years ago. However, how pathogenic chlamydiae adapted to mammalian cells that provide a stable niche at approximately 37 °C, remains unknown, although environmental ...

Chlamydia species-dependent differences in the growth requirement for lysosomes.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Genome reduction is a hallmark of obligate intracellular pathogens such as Chlamydia, where adaptation to intracellular growth has resulted in the elimination of genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes.

Protochlamydia naegleriophila as Etiologic Agent of Pneumonia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 Using ameba coculture, we grew a Naegleria endosymbiont. Phenotypic, genetic, and phylogenetic analyses supported its affiliation as Protochlamydia naegleriophila sp. nov. We then developed a specific diagnostic PCR for Protochlamydia spp.
