This study's aim is to understand how pathogenic bacteria can evolve into intracellular endosymbionts. We propagated Serratia symbiotica bacteria that are culturable relatives of aphid endosymbionts i
Bacterial symbionts that manipulate the reproduction of their hosts are important factors in invertebrate ecology and evolution, and are being leveraged for host biological control. Infection prevalen
This project provides the genome assembly of Wolbachia endosymbiont (group A) of Lasioglossum malachurum. The assembly is provided by the Darwin Tree of Life Project (https: //www.darwintreeoflife.org
Free-living amoebae are well known for their role in controlling microbial community composition through grazing, but some groups, namely Acanthamoeba species, also frequently serves as hosts for bact
