Complete genome of the mutualistic symbiont <i>Buchnera aphidicola</i> AIST from a Japanese strain of the pea aphid <i>Acyrthosiphon pisum</i>
The genome of <i>Buchnera aphidicola</i> National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), an obligate bacterial endosymbiont from a Japanese strain of the pea aphid <i>Acyrthosiphon pisum</i>, was determined. The genome sequence provides valuable information for comparative and evolutionary aspects of the intimate insect-microbe mutualism.
