The molecular biology of symbiotic bacteria of aphididae.
The aphid endosymbiont has a genome larger than that of E. coli, with a high adenine and thymine content. Though the symbiont can synthesize several hundred proteins in vitro, intracellularly it concentrates on producing only one protein, symbionin, which is not among those synthesized extracellularly.
