Male-killing toxin in a Drosophila bacterial symbiont
Several lineages of symbiotic bacteria in insects selfishly manipulate host reproduction to spread in a population1, often by distorting host sex ratios. Spiroplasma poulsonii2,3 (hereafter Spiroplasma) is a helical and motile, Gram-positive symbiotic bacterium, that resides in a wide range of Droso...
