Extreme genome reduction in Buchnera spp.: Toward the minimal genome needed for symbiotic life

Buchnera is a mutualistic intracellular symbiont of aphids. Their association began about 200 million years ago, with host and symbiont lineages evolving in parallel since that time. During this coevolutionary process, Buchnera has experienced a dramatic decrease of genome size, retaining only essen...
