Molecular evidence for ongoing complementarity and horizontal gene transfer in endosymbiotic systems of mealybugs

Intracellular bacterial supply of essential amino acids is common among sap-feeding insects, thus complementing the scarcity of nitrogenous compounds in plant phloem. This is also the role of the two mealybug endosymbiotic systems whose genomes have been sequenced. In the nested endosymbiotic system...
