Lysine provisioning by horizontally acquired genes promotes mutual dependence between whitefly and two intracellular symbionts

Horizontal gene transfer is widespread in insects bearing intracellular symbionts. Horizontally transferred genes (HTGs) are presumably involved in amino acid synthesis in sternorrhynchan insects. However, their role in insect-symbiont interactions remains largely unknown. We found symbionts Portier...
