Wholly <italic toggle="yes">Rickettsia</italic>! Reconstructed Metabolic Profile of the Quintessential Bacterial Parasite of Eukaryotic Cells

ABSTRACT Reductive genome evolution has purged many metabolic pathways from obligate intracellular Rickettsia (Alphaproteobacteria; Rickettsiaceae). While some aspects of host-dependent rickettsial metabolism have been characterized, the array of host-acquired metabolites and their cognate transport...
