Increased Biosynthetic Gene Dosage in a Genome-Reduced Defensive Bacterial Symbiont
ABSTRACT A symbiotic lifestyle frequently results in genome reduction in bacteria; the isolation of small populations promotes genetic drift and the fixation of deletions and deleterious mutations over time. Transitions in lifestyle, including host restriction or adaptation to an intracellular habit...
