Hong Kong and Macau present what are probably the most egregious examples of all-pervasive linguistic symbiosis on a daily basis, Singlish ubiquitous in the former, (e.g. ba shi bus; de shi taxi), Portusinese in the latter.
Rhizobia have the ability to transfer genes horizontally to other bacteria, and M. loti carries a 'symbiosis island' which spans approximately 9% of its genome and has been shown to have a role in rhizobial evolution via HGT [ 46 ] . This symbiosis island contains certain genes involved in nodulation and nitrogen-fixation functions, but none of these is a homolog of the nematode HGT candidates we have identified.
The transcripts identified as most and least like plant or symbiont might also be studied in more detail as candidate participants in symbiosis.
Interestingly, models of bacterial evolution suggest HGT as a mechanism of adaptation into either symbiosis or parasitism [ 32 ] . This is specifically thought to be the case for divergent species of rhizobia, such as the symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti and the pathogen Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly known as Agrobacterium tumefaciens ), where differential selection and gene maintenance is likely to be responsible for different lifestyle strategies [ 33 ] .
What are the main evolutionary steps towards this symbiosis, and in which order did they occur?
