Candidatus Symbiopectobacterium (SyCt):Chty_BC (Chilacis typhae) Genome sequencing and assembly. Candidatus Symbiopectobacterium sp. Chty_BC

The bulrush bug (Chilacis typhae) hosts an intracellular bacterium symbiont in a bacteriome composed of epithelial midgut cells. The bacterium's genome was sequenced to determine its metabolism and provide for comparative studies to closely related genomes found in association with other insects.

香蒲长蝽（Chilacis typhae）在由肠道上皮细胞构成的菌胞体（bacteriome）中共生有一类细胞内细菌共生体。研究人员对该细菌的基因组进行了测序，以解析其代谢特性，并为针对与其他昆虫共生的近缘细菌基因组开展比较研究提供支撑。
