Localization and functional characterization of a mealybug rRNA methyltransferase of bacterial origin

Abstract

The aim of this thesis was to study the localization and function of the rRNA large subunit methyltransferase I in the mealybug Planococcus citri and its endosymbiont Tremblaya princeps by bisulfite sequencing, immunohistochemical analysis, and fluorescence in situ hybridization.
