This project focuses on the evolution and function of the intracellular symbiont Cand. Riegeria galateiae found in flatworms. It aims to sequence its genome and analyze its adaptations to a symbiotic lifestyle, enhancing our understanding of chemosynthetic microbes.
Harnessing chemoautotrophic symbionts is a recurring evolutionary strategy.
Eukaryotes from six phyla as well as one archaeon have acquired sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from three groups, Alpha-, Gamma- and Epsilonproteobacteria.
The intracellular ‘Cand.
Riegeria’ endosymbionts of the mouth and gutless flatworms Paracatenula are the only alphaproteobacterial representatives.
They form a family-level clade within Rhodospirillales and have been co-evolving with their hosts for the last 500 million y…
