Keywords:

  • DNA
  • Wolbachia
  • genebank
  • phylogenetics
  • symbionts
  • Notes: Molecular phylogenetic analyses have revealed that symbionts of P. superbus belong to the gammaproteobacterial genus Sodalis. The bacteriocytes also house a few small, rod-shaped Wolbachia bacteria in addition to the numerous large, elongated Sodalis-allied bacteria.
