The cyanobacterial endosymbiont of the unicellular algae Rhopalodia gibba shows reductive genome evolution

BACKGROUND: Bacteria occur in facultative association and intracellular symbiosis with a diversity of eukaryotic hosts. Recently, we have helped to characterise an intracellular nitrogen fixing bacterium, the so-called spheroid body, located within the diatom Rhopalodia gibba. Spheroid bodies are of...
