Convergent Evolution in Intracellular Elements: Plasmids as Model Endosymbionts.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Sept 2018

Dietel Anne-Kathrin, Kaltenpoth Martin, Kost Christian

Abstract excerpt

Endosymbionts are organisms that live inside the cells of other species. This lifestyle is ubiquitous across the tree of life and is featured by unicellular eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and by extrachromosomal genetic elements such as plasmids. Given that all of these elements dwell in the cytoplasm of their host cell, they should be subject to similar selection pressures. Here we show that strikingly similar...
