Legionella endosymbiont of Polyplax serrata strain:PsAG Genome sequencing
We present genomic, phylogenetic and metabolic information on endosymbiotic bacterium originated within the genus Legionella. The proposed name "Candidatus Legionela polyplacis" referes to the name of the louse Polyplax serrata host. In the genome of Ca. Legionella polyplacis we found horizontally acquired operon of 6 genes, which are crutial for biosynthesis of biotin (vitamin B7), homologous to those found in mutualistic Wolbachia in bedbug Cimex lectularius.
