Mutation rate and genome reduction in endosymbiotic and free-living bacteria.

Genetica - 1 Oct 2008

Marais Gabriel A B, Calteau Alexandra, Tenaillon Olivier

Abstract excerpt

Genome reduction has been considered the hallmark of endosymbiotic bacteria, such as endocellular mutualists or obligatory pathogens until it was found exactly the same in several free-living bacteria. In endosymbiotic bacteria genome reduction is mainly attributed to degenerative processes due to small population size. These cannot affect the free-living bacteria with reduced genomes because they are known to...
