Targeted disruption of the cls gene in Buchnera aphidicola impairs membrane integrity and host symbiont dynamics

Summary: The obligate symbiosis between pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) and Buchnera aphidicola represents metabolic interdependence between the host insect and its bacterial symbiont. Buchnera has a highly reduced genome that has lost nearly all phospholipid synthesis genes except cls, encoding a...
