suggest a broader mutualistic interaction between the tubeworm, its endosymbiont, and benthic hydrocarbon-degrading and sulfide-producing microbes.
The Buchnera endosymbiont of the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum has a genome of 643 kb [ 8], only one-seventh the size of the genome of E. coli MG1655 (4.
Buchnera is a mutualistic endosymbiont of its host, but the pattern of reductions of numbers of genes among functional categories is similar between Buchnera and other fully sequenced small-genome bacteria, all obligate pathogens [ 8, 12, 15, 16].
These tools have shed light on the roles of recombination, selection, and mutation on endosymbiont genome evolution and have highlighted parameters that shape the outcome of genetic conflicts between hosts and symbionts.
As an endosymbiont, Buchnera is experiencing extensive gene loss due to reductive processes, and consequently, lower levels of gene order conservation could be expected.
