Strict Host-Symbiont Cospeciation and Reductive Genome Evolution in Insect Gut Bacteria

Phylogenetic Placement of the Symbiotic Bacteria from the Plataspid Stinkbugs in the γ-Subclass of the Proteobacteria on the Basis of 16S rRNA Gene Sequences
A total of 1,213 aligned nucleotide sites were subjected to the analysis. A Bayesian tree is shown, while MP tree and ML tree exhibited substantially the same topologies. On each of the nodes, posterior probabilities in the Bayesian analysis are shown above, and bootstrap probabilities (MP analysis/ML analysis) are shown below. Asterisks indicate bootstrap values lower than 50%. In brackets are sequence accession numbers. In parentheses are collection localities for the stinkbug symbionts and host insect names for the other symbionts, respectively.
