The Genome of Cardinium cBtQ1 Provides Insights into Genome Reduction, Symbiont Motility, and Its Settlement in Bemisia tabaci by Santos-Garcia, Diego, Rollat-Farnier, Pierre-Antoine, Beitia, Francisco J., Zchori-Fein, Einat, Vavre, Fabrice, Mouton, Laurence, Moya, Andres, Latorre, Amparo, Silva, Francisco J.

“…The genome also contains a chromosomal duplication and a multicopy plasmid, which harbors several genes putatively associated with gliding motility, as well as two other genes encoding proteins with potential insecticidal activity. As gene amplification is very rare in endosymbionts, an important function of these genes cannot be ruled out.…”
