A substrate ambiguous enzyme facilitates genome reduction in an intracellular symbiont

BACKGROUND: Genome evolution in intracellular microbial symbionts is characterized by gene loss, generating some of the smallest and most gene-poor genomes known. As a result of gene loss these genomes commonly contain metabolic pathways that are fragmented relative to their free-living relatives. T...
