Comparative genomics of <i>Rickettsiella</i> bacteria reveal variable metabolic pathways potentially involved in symbiotic interactions with arthropods
2024-12-06
Abstract excerpt
Members of the Rickettsiella genus (order: Legionellales ) are emerging as widespread bacteria associated with insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. While some Rickettsiella strains are highly virulent pathogens, others are maternally inherited endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod phenotypes, including the induction of defensive symbiosis and cytoplasmic incompatibility. However, the genomic diversity of Ric...
