Rickettsiales’ deep evolutionary history sheds light on the emergence of intracellular lifestyles

2023-01-31

Abstract excerpt

Ancient bacteria largely lived and flourished as free-living cells till the rise of eukaryotes triggered their adaptation to a new habitat: the intracellular milieu. Rickettsiales bacteria are the most prevalent intracellular microorganisms discovered and the culprits behind some of mankind’s worst pestilential diseases. Here, we show that intracellularity is not a defining feature of the group and describe the ec...
