Sulcia Essential Amino Acid Provisioning

MUTUALISM

Source Taxon: Sulcia

Target Taxon: Graphocephala coccinea

Metabolites: L-leucine (CHEBI:15603), L-isoleucine (CHEBI:17191), nitrogen (CHEBI:25555)

Evidence

  • PMID:30254121 - SUPPORT (COMPUTATIONAL)
    "Sulcia and Hodgkinia with genomes of ≤0.3 Mb are calculated to recycle ∼30 to 80% of host-derived nitrogen to essential amino acids returned to the host"
  • PMID:30254121 - SUPPORT (COMPUTATIONAL)
    "Our simulations reveal extensive bidirectional flux of multiple metabolites between each symbiont and the host"

Baumannia Metabolic Complementarity

MUTUALISM

Source Taxon: Baumannia cicadellinicola

Target Taxon: Graphocephala coccinea

Metabolites: nitrogen (CHEBI:25555)

Evidence

  • PMID:30254121 - SUPPORT (COMPUTATIONAL)
    "Baumannia and Sodalis with genomes of ≥0.6 Mb recycle 10 to 15% of host nitrogen"
  • PMID:30254121 - SUPPORT (COMPUTATIONAL)
    "near-complete metabolic segregation (i.e., near absence of metabolic cross-feeding) between the two symbionts, a likely mode of host control over symbiont metabolism"
