The extracellular association of the bacterium “ <i>Candidatus</i> Deianiraea vastatrix” with the ciliate <i>Paramecium</i> suggests an alternative scenario for the evolution of <i>Rickettsiales</i>
2018-11-27
Abstract excerpt
Rickettsiales are a lineage of obligatorily intracellular Alphaproteobacteria , encompassing important human pathogens, manipulators of host reproduction, and mutualists. Here we report the discovery of a novel Rickettsiales bacterium associated with Paramecium , displaying a unique extracellular lifestyle, including the ability to replicate outside host cells. Genomic analyses show that the bacterium possesses...
