Phylogenetic relationships among endosymbiotic R-body producer: Bacteria providing their host the killer trait.

Systematic and applied microbiology - 1 May 2018

Schrallhammer Martina, Castelli Michele, Petroni Giulio

Abstract excerpt

R-body producing bacterial endosymbionts of Paramecium spp. transform their hosts into "killer" paramecia and provide them a selective advantage. This killer trait is connected to the presence of R-bodies, which are peculiar, tightly coiled protein ribbons capable of rapid unrolling. Based mainly on those two characteristics the respective obligate intracellular bacteria have been comprised in the genus...
