Lateral Phage Transfer in Obligate Intracellular Bacteria (Wolbachia): Verification from Natural Populations

11 Nov 2009

Abstract excerpt

Lateral transfer of mobile DNA is a hallmark of bacteria with a free-living replicative stage; however, its significance in obligate intracellular bacteria and other heritable endosymbionts remains controversial. Comparative sequence analyses from laboratory stocks infected with Wolbachia pipientis provide some of the most compelling evidence that bacteriophage WO-B transfers laterally between infections of the...
