cze Abstract:
Current bioinformatic methods such as molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics provide us with good insight to symbiont evolution. Though modern science evolves rapidly, accelerates speed of acquiring novel discoveries and improves their quality, there is still endless row of questions waiting to be answered. This thesis focuses on origins of symbiosis between insects and Enterobacteria, and the mechanisms promoting association of bacteria with arthropods. The main emphasis is put on the secondary symbionts of the genus Sodalis (Enterobacteriaceae) and the pathogenic Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Anaplasmataceae) that seems to be undergoing first steps to become hereditary mutualist.
