Genomic signatures of ancient asexual lineages (2003, background): “In addition to showing faster sequence evolution, the genomes of long-term symbionts and pathogens show the loss of genes that are non-essential but that function to stabilize central cellular processes (Andersson & Kurland, 1998; Moran & Wernegreen, 2000; Shigenobu et al., 2000).”
Amino acid budgets in three aphid species using the same host plant (2001, background): “In Buchnera from the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, pathways for production of all essential amino acids plus cysteine are retained (Shigenobu et al., 2000) and, in symbionts of many aphids, genes for biosynthesis of the essential amino acids leucine and tryptophan are ampli®ed on Correspondence: Jonas…”
Ψ-Φ: Exploring the outer limits of bacterial pseudogenes (2004, background): “…2003) because the derived genomes of intracellular obligate symbionts, such as Buchnera, Wigglesworthia, and Blochmania, are very highly reduced (with genomes’ sizes in the range of 500 kb) and contain very few pseudogenes or IS elements (Shigenobu et al. 2000; Akman et al. 2002; Gil et al. 2003).”
Nine facultative endosymbionts in aphids. A review (2017, background): “In aphids, obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola is indispensable for that it can provide them essential amino acids they cannot obtain from the phloem of plants (Douglas, 1998; Shigenobu et al., 2000; Baumann, 2005).”
Genome Rearrangement Distances and Gene Order Phylogeny in γ-Proteobacteria (2005, background): “The same situation 9 arose between the B. aphidicola strains BAp and BSg.”
Phloem amino acids and the host plant range of the polyphagous aphid, Aphis fabae (2003, background): “…variation in aphid requirement for methionine is of particular interest because the complete genome sequences of Buchnera (from Acyrthosiphon pisum and Schizaphis graminum) suggest that these bacteria lack the capacity to synthesize methionine (Shigenobu et al., 2000; Tamas et al., 2002).”
The gut microbiota of insects - diversity in structure and function. (2013, background): “…symbioses, B. aphidicola has a highly reduced genome, but retains genes that enable it to provide its host with nutrients, in this case essential amino acids and vitamins that are rare in the phloem sap diet of the aphid host (Shigenobu et al., 2000; Hansen & Moran, 2011; Poliakov et al., 2011).”
Determination of the Core of a Minimal Bacterial Gene Set (2004, background): “…(34), and it is reasonable to consider that enlargening the number of genomes used in the comparison will signiﬁcatively reduce the number of genes considered to be essential In the last few years, complete genomes of ﬁve bacterial endosymbionts of insects have been described (2, 28, 77, 80, 83 .”
Microbial minimalism: genome reduction in bacterial pathogens. (2002, background): “…for biosynthesis of essential that are important in pathogen and symbiont evolution. amino acids, but has lost pathways for amino acids that Over 50 eubacterial genomes are now fully sequenced the host can produce itself (Shigenobu et al., 2000). and annotated, with many more near completion.”
