Bacterial endosymbionts influence host sexuality and reveal reproductive genes of early divergent fungi

Cells of the fungus Rhizopus microsporus contain Burkholderia endobacteria that control its asexual reproduction. Here, the authors show that the endobacteria also mediate mating of the fungal host by modulating expression of a GTPase central to fungal reproductive development.
