Parallel and Gradual Genome Erosion in the Blattabacterium Endosymbionts of Mastotermes darwiniensis and Cryptocercus Wood Roaches

Original language description

Almost all examined cockroaches harbor an obligate intracellular endosymbiont, Blattabacterium cuenoti. On the basis of genome content, Blattabacterium has been inferred to recycle nitrogen wastes and provide amino acids and cofactors for its hosts. Most Blattabacterium strains sequenced to date harbor a genome of similar to 630 kbp, with the exception of the termite Mastotermes darwiniensis (similar to 590 kbp) and Cryptocercus punctulatus (similar to 614 kbp), a representative of the sister group of termites. Such genome reduction may have led to the ultimate loss of Blattabacterium in all termites other than Mastotermes. In this study, we sequenced 11 new Blattabacterium genomes from three species of Cryptocercus in order to shed light on the genomic evolution of Blattabacterium in termites and Cryptocercus- All genomes of Cryptocercus-derived Blattabacterium genomes were reduced (similar to 614 kbp), except for that associated with Cryptocercus kyebangensis, which comprised 637 kbp.
