Evidence for homologous recombination in intracellular chemosynthetic clam symbionts.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2009

Stewart Frank J, Young Curtis R, Cavanaugh Colleen M

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination is a fundamental mechanism for the genetic diversification of free-living bacteria. However, recombination may be limited in endosymbiotic bacteria, as these taxa are locked into an intracellular niche and may rarely encounter sources of foreign DNA. This study tested the hypothesis that vertically transmitted endosymbionts of deep-sea clams (Bivalvia: Vesicomyidae) show little or no...
