General Information: Erwinia tasmaniensis Et1/99 (DSM 17950) was isolated from apple flowers in Tasmania, Australia. Erwinia tasmaniensis has been isolated from apple and pear flowers and bark. This organism is not pathogenic to plants and appears to be a common epiphyte, colonizing plant surfaces.
Subject: NC_007712:1954808 Sodalis glossinidius str. 'morsitans', complete genome
Lineage: Sodalis glossinidius; Sodalis; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Sodalis glossinidius is known exclusively in endosymbiosis with tsetse flies. It is maternally transmitted, and is one of the few bacterial endosymbionts of insects that can be cultured successfully in vitro. Genome data reveals a high proportion of pseudogenes in this species, many of which were, in their functional state, involved in defense or transport of carbohydrates and inorganic ions. This suggests a degenerative adaptation to the immunity and restricted nutritional status of the host.
