Genome degeneration affects both extracellular and intracellular bacterial endosymbionts.

Journal of biology - 1 Jan 2009

Feldhaar Heike, Gross Roy

Abstract excerpt

The obligate intracellular bacterial endosymbionts of insects are a paradigm for reductive genome evolution. A study published recently in BMC Biology demonstrates that similar evolutionary forces shaping genome structure may also apply to extracellular endosymbionts.
