Spiroplasma symbiont of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Insecta: Homoptera)

Article Abstract:

Researchers have identified a secondary bacterial symbiont in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. It is a member of the genus Spiroplasma and is vertically transmitted through successive generations of the host.

Two intracellular symbiotic bacteria from the mulberry psyllid Anomoneura mori (insecta, homoptera)

Article Abstract:

Molecular phylogenetic analysis combined with in situ hybridization were used to characterize the intracellular symbiotic bacteria of the mulberry psyllid Anomoneura mori. The psyllid has a large, yellow, bilobed mycetome in its abdomen which consists of many round uninucleated mycetocytes enclosing syncytial tissue. Genetic analysis revealed that the A-type and B-type 16S rDNA sequences showed that these symbionts belong to the lineages of the gamma subdivision of the Proteobacteria. The nucleotide compositions of the rDNAs were highly AT biased.
