Journal ArticleDOI
Biology of bacteriocyte-associated endosymbionts of plant sap-sucking insects
TL;DR: Psyllids, whiteflies, aphids, and mealybugs are members of the suborder Sternorrhyncha and share a common property, namely the utilization of plant sap as their food source, and the different properties of the genomes and fragments of the genome suggest that there are different constraints on the permissible evolutionary changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular clock in endosymbiotic bacteria is calibrated using the insect hosts
TL;DR: Rates calibrated using dates inferred from fossil aphids imply that Asian and American species of the aphid tribe Melaphidina diverged by the early Eocene; this result confirms an earlier hypothesis based on biogeographic evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics, Physiology, and Evolutionary Relationships of the Genus Buchnera: Intracellular Symbionts of Aphids
TL;DR: Genetic and physiological studies indicate that Buchnera can synthesize methionine, cysteine, and tryptophan and supply these amino acids to the aphid host and involve plasmid-amplification of the gene coding for anthranilate synthase, the first enzyme of the tryptophile biosynthetic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomy of the marine, luminous bacteria
TL;DR: One hundred and seventy-three strains of marine, luminous bacteria isolated from sea water, surfaces and intestines of fish, as well as from the luminous organs of fish and squid were submitted to an extensive phenotypic characterization as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for the establishment of aphid-eubacterium endosymbiosis in an ancestor of four aphid families.

TL;DR: These findings suggest that this endocytobiotic association was established in a common ancestor of the four aphid families with subsequent diversification into the present species of aphids and their endosymbionts.
