Comparison of metabolic pathways in insect symbiotic bacteria
Abstrakt
Genomes of lice endosymbionts, Legionella from two different host species (Polyplax serrata and Polyplax spinulosa), were compared in their metabolic pathways. Preserved genes were annotated, mapped out for comparison and checked for their functionality. The annotated genes also were assessed for their Ka/Ks values and the COG categories they were included in.
