Journal ArticleDOI
Wolbachia as a bacteriocyte-associated nutritional mutualist
TL;DR: Results indicate that bacteriocyte-associated nutritional mutualism can evolve from facultative and prevalent microbial associates like Wolbachia, highlighting a previously unknown aspect of the parasitism-mutualism evolutionary continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symbiont-mediated insecticide resistance
Yoshitomo Kikuchi,Masahito Hayatsu,Takahiro Hosokawa,Atsushi Nagayama,Kanako Tago,Takema Fukatsu +5 more
TL;DR: The finding suggests the possibility that the symbiont-mediated insecticide resistance may develop even in the absence of pest insects, quickly establish within a single insect generation, and potentially move around horizontally between different pest insects and other organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect-microbe mutualism without vertical transmission: a stinkbug acquires a beneficial gut symbiont from the environment every generation.
TL;DR: The stinkbug-Burkholderia relationship may be regarded as an insect analogue of the well-known symbioses between plants and soil-associated microbes, such as legume-Rhizobium and alder-Frankia relationships, and the evolutionary relevance of the mutualistic but promiscuous insect-microbe association is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strict Host-Symbiont Cospeciation and Reductive Genome Evolution in Insect Gut Bacteria
Takahiro Hosokawa,Yoshitomo Kikuchi,Yoshitomo Kikuchi,Naruo Nikoh,Masakazu Shimada,Takema Fukatsu +5 more
TL;DR: The plataspid stinkbugs, wherein the host-symbiont associations can be easily manipulated, provide a novel system that enables experimental approaches to previously untouched aspects of the insect-microbe mutualism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary origin of insect-Wolbachia nutritional mutualism.
Naruo Nikoh,Takahiro Hosokawa,Minoru Moriyama,Kenshiro Oshima,Masahira Hattori,Takema Fukatsu +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that acquisition of a single gene cluster consisting of biotin synthesis genes underlies the bedbug–Wolbachia nutritional mutualism, uncovering an evolutionary transition from facultative symbiosis to obligate mutualism facilitated by lateral gene transfer in the endosymbiont lineage.
