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

mBio
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.

A Nematode of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Hydrothermal Vents Harbors a Possible Symbiotic Relationship

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Deep-sea hydrothermal vent meiofauna have been the focus of recent research and the discovery of an abundant well-adapted free-living marine nematode on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge offers new perspectives on adaptations to the vent environment.

Comparison of the protein-coding gene content of Chlamydia trachomatis and Protochlamydia amoebophila using a Raspberry Pi computer [PDF]

, 2015
Background: To demonstrate the bioinformatics capabilities of a low-cost computer, the Raspberry Pi, we present a comparison of the protein-coding gene content of two species in phylum Chlamydiae: Chlamydia trachomatis, a common sexually transmitted ...

Developmental Integration of Endosymbionts in Insects

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In endosymbiosis, two independently existing entities are inextricably intertwined such that they behave as a single unit. For multicellular hosts, the endosymbiont must be integrated within the host developmental genetic network to maintain the relationship.

Systematics of a Kleptoplastidal Dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium eucyaneum Hu (Dinophyceae), and Its Cryptomonad Endosymbiont

, 2013
New specimens of the kleptoplastidal dinoflagellate Gymnodinium eucyaneum Hu were collected in China. We investigated the systematics of the dinoflagellate and the origin of its endosymbiont based on light morphology and phylogenetic analyses using ...

Influences of two coexisting endosymbionts, CI‐inducing Wolbachia and male‐killing Spiroplasma, on the performance of their host Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is reported to have the endosymbiont Wolbachia, which shows a strong cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) between infected males and uninfected females. In the 2000s, female‐biased L.

Endosymbiosis in Monoxenous Trypanosomatids: Biological and Metabolic Aspects

Parasitologia
Endosymbiosis is a necessary process in eukaryotic evolution, yet the steps leading to full integration remain poorly understood. Trypanosomatids provide a comparative framework to study this transition through two independent systems representing ...

Francisella-like Endosymbionts of Ticks

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2000
Ticks affect human and animal health both directly by their blood feeding and indirectly by transmission of many disease-causing bacteria, such as Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Borrelia, Coxiella, Cowdria, Anaplasma, Aegyptionella, and Tularemia, as well as many viruses (Piesman and Gage, 1996).

Domesticated bacterial origin genes regulate homeostasis of the insect gut microbiome and empower adaptation

iMeta, EarlyView.
Horizontal gene transfer introduced bacterial CDC genes into the leafhopper genome, providing genetic material for subsequent evolutionary innovation. Different CDC copies diversified at the sequence, structural, and functional levels. RdCDC3 retained its ancestral pore‐forming activity and was recruited for egg defense, whereas RdCDC9 lost its ...

Sequencing and analysis of a 63 kb bacterial artificial chromosome insert from the Wolbachia endosymbiont of the human filarial parasite Brugia malayi

, 2002
Wolbachia endosymbiotic bacteria are widespread in filarial nematodes and are directly involved in the immune response of the host. In addition, antibiotics which disrupt Wolbachia interfere with filarial nematode development thus, Wolbachia provide an ...
