Vertical transmission at the pathogen-symbiont interface: <i>Serratia symbiotica</i> and aphids
2020-09-02
Abstract excerpt
Many insects possess beneficial bacterial symbionts that occupy specialized host cells and are maternally transmitted. As a consequence of their host-restricted lifestyle, these symbionts often possess reduced genomes and cannot be cultured outside hosts, limiting their study. The bacterial species Serratia symbiotica was originally described by noncultured strains that live as mutualistic symbionts of aphids and...
