    Infections with Arsenophonus Facultative Endosymbionts Alter Performance of Aphids (Aphis gossypii) on an Amino-Acid-Deficient Diet

    The facultative endosymbiont Arsenophonus plays an important role in regulating reproduction through son killing, enemy resistance, and the dietary breadth of its insect hosts. In this study, we found Arsenophonus could alter aphid performance on the amino-acid-deficient diets. Arsenophonus infection increased aphid requirements for the amino acid Phe, but decreased requirements for the Leu. Cotton and...

    Erwinia amylovora Auxotrophic Mutant Exometabolomics and Virulence on Apples

    This study has revealed the availability of a range of host metabolites to E. amylovora cells growing in apple tissues and has examined whether these metabolites are available in sufficient quantities to render bacterial de novo synthesis of these metabolites partially or even completely dispensable for disease development. The metabolomics analysis revealed...
