Implications of streamlining theory for microbial ecology (2014, background): “The theory that selection favors small genomes because they can be replicated more rapidly, thus shortening generation times, has largely been ruled out by studies that found no correlation between generation time and genome size (Mira et al., 2001; Lynch, 2006; Touchon and Rocha, 2007; Vieira-Silva”
Mobile genetic elements: the agents of open source evolution (2005, background): “Gene loss is now recognized as important in sculpting chromosome”
Metabolic-network-driven analysis of bacterial ecological strategies (2009, result): “The lack of association between growth rate and genome size was already reported in previous studies [15] where the profound effects of the translation process on growth rate were suggested to mask any influences of genome size on replication speed.”
Biology bacteriocyte-associated endosymbionts of plant sap-sucking insects. (2005, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. as well as additional studies also indicated a closer relationship to Blochmannia and Wigglesworthia and a more distant relationship to Buchnera (52, 70) (Figure 3).”
Microbial minimalism: genome reduction in bacterial pathogens. (2002, background): “However, this is unlikely to provide a general reason for the pattern as small genomes varyand the much larger genome of the related E. coli (Mira et al., 2001). both in capability for nucleotide biosynthesis and in location within hosts.”
The Wolbachia Genome of Brugia malayi: Endosymbiont Evolution within a Human Pathogenic Nematode (2005, background): “[111,112,152,153,154,155] suggests the specific elimination of nonessential DNA is a result of reduced selection on”
Bacterial insertion sequences: their genomic impact and diversity (2014, background): “IS expansion would contribute to pseudogenisation by IS-mediated intrachromosomal recombination and genome reduction (Andersson & Andersson, 1999; Lawrence et al., 2001; Mira et al., 2001) by their capacities to generate deletions (Mahillon & Chandler, 1998).”
Extreme genome reduction in symbiotic bacteria (2011, background): “Numerous studies implicate the small population size and asexuality of the relevant specie”
