This project explores the evolution of symbiotic relationships between aphids and the bacterium Serratia symbiotica. It aims to understand how dependency on symbionts develops through genomic and physiological integration.
Organisms across the tree of life form partnerships with microbes for protection, metabolic and nutritional benefits.
Symbiont acquisitions have allowed hosts to colonise ecological niches that they would otherwise be excluded from, use previously inaccessible resources and capture novel forms of energy.
In some cases, host and symbiont become so tightly associated that dependency evolves and the two organisms integrate both physically and genomically.
Understanding how organisms combine to perf…
