Host-encoded ETP2 is involved in recruiting the dynamin-like protein ETP9 to the endosymbiont division site in trypanosomatid Angomonas deanei [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
A single β-proteobacterial endosymbiont, Candidatus Kinetoplastibacterium crithidii, resides in the cytosol of the trypanosomatid Angomonas deanei and divides at a defined stage of its host’s cell cycle. This endosymbiont has a highly reduced genome of 0.

Comparative Endosymbiont Community Structures of Nonviruliferous and Rice Stripe Virus-Viruliferous Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) in Korea [PDF]

open access: yesViruses
Insects and their bacterial endosymbionts form intricate ecological relationships, yet their role in host–pathogen interactions are not fully elucidated.

Weevil Carbohydrate Intake Triggers Endosymbiont Proliferation: A Trade-Off between Host Benefit and Endosymbiont Burden

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Nutritional symbioses between insects and intracellular bacteria (endosymbionts) are a major force of adaptation, allowing animals to colonize nutrient-poor ecological niches. Many beetles feeding on tyrosine-poor substrates rely on a surplus of aromatic

Wolbachia Endosymbionts of Fleas Occur in All Females but Rarely in Males and Do Not Show Evidence of Obligatory Relationships, Fitness Effects, or Sex-Distorting Manipulations

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The widespread temporal and spatial persistence of endosymbionts in arthropod host populations, despite potential conflicts with their hosts and fluctuating environmental conditions, is puzzling.

Gut Microbiota Cannot Compensate the Impact of (quasi) Aposymbiosis in Blattella germanica

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Blattella germanica presents a very complex symbiotic system, involving the following two kinds of symbionts: the endosymbiont Blattabacterium and the gut microbiota.

The effects of temperature on prevalence of facultative insect heritable symbionts across spatial and seasonal scales

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Facultative inheritable endosymbionts are common and diverse in insects and are often found at intermediate frequencies in insect host populations. The literature assessing the relationship between environment and facultative endosymbiont frequency in ...

Unstable Relationship Between Braarudosphaera bigelowii (= Chrysochromulina parkeae) and Its Nitrogen-Fixing Endosymbiont

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Marine phytoplankton are major primary producers, and their growth is primarily limited by nitrogen in the oligotrophic ocean environment. The haptophyte Braarudosphaera bigelowii possesses a cyanobacterial endosymbiont (UCYN-A), which plays a major role

Pleiotropic impact of endosymbiont load and co-occurrence in the maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Individual traits vary among and within populations, and the co-occurrence of different endosymbiont species within a host may take place under varying endosymbiont loads in each individual host. This makes the recognition of the potential impact of such

SymbiQuant: A Machine Learning Object Detection Tool for Polyploid Independent Estimates of Endosymbiont Population Size

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Quantifying the size of endosymbiont populations is challenging because endosymbionts are typically difficult or impossible to culture and commonly polyploid.

Effects of 16S rDNA sampling on estimates of the number of endosymbiont lineages in sucking lice [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Phylogenetic trees can reveal the origins of endosymbiotic lineages of bacteria and detect patterns of co-evolution with their hosts. Although taxon sampling can greatly affect phylogenetic and co-evolutionary inference, most hypotheses of endosymbiont ...
