Toward a better understanding of the mechanisms of symbiosis: a comprehensive proteome map of a nascent insect symbiont

Abstract excerpt

Symbiotic bacteria are common in insects and can affect various aspects of their hosts’ biology. Although the effects of insect symbionts have been clarified for various insect symbiosis models, due to the difficulty of cultivating them in vitro , there is still limited knowledge available on the molecular features that drive symbiosis. Serratia symbiotica is one of the most common symbionts found in aphids. The...
