Identification and phylogenetic analysis of heme synthesis genes in trypanosomatids and their bacterial endosymbionts.
It has been known for decades that some insect-infecting trypanosomatids can survive in culture without heme supplementation while others cannot, and that this capability is associated with the presence of a betaproteobacterial endosymbiont in the flagellate's cytoplasm. However, the specific m...
