Inside or out? Possible genomic consequences of extracellular transmission of crypt-dwelling stinkbug mutualists.
Genome reduction has been widely studied in obligate intracellular bacterial mutualists of insects because they have, in comparison to closely-related, nonhost-associated bacteria, extremely small genomes. Pentatomid stinkbugs also maintain bacterial symbionts, yet they are extracellular, residing w...
