Supergroup F Wolbachia with extremely reduced genome: transition to obligate insect symbionts
7 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wolbachia belong to highly abundant bacteria which are frequently found in invertebrate microbiomes and manifest by a broad spectrum of lifestyles from parasitism to mutualism. Wolbachia supergroup F is a particularly interesting clade as it gave rise to symbionts of both arthropods and nematodes, and some of its members are obligate mutualists.
