The ftsZ Gene of the Endocellular Bacterium ‘Candidatus Glomeribacter gigasporarum’ Is Preferentially Expressed During the Symbiotic Phases of Its Host Mycorrhizal Fungus

The ftsZ Gene of the Endocellular Bacterium ‘Candidatus Glomeribacter gigasporarum’ Is Preferentially Expressed During the Symbiotic Phases of Its Host Mycorrhizal Fungus

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AM) Gigaspora margarita consistently hosts bacteria, named ‘Candidatus Glomeribacter gigasporarum,’ inside its cytoplasm. Endobacteria have a positive impact on fungal fitness during the presymbiotic phase, prior to plant roots colonization. We tested the hypothesi...
