The Cost of Metabolic Interactions in Symbioses between Insects and Bacteria with Reduced Genomes

ABSTRACT Various intracellular bacterial symbionts that provide their host with essential nutrients have much-reduced genomes, attributed largely to genomic decay and relaxed selection. To obtain quantitative estimates of the metabolic function of these bacteria, we reconstructed genome- and transcr...
