eng Abstract:
A complex phylogenomic analysis of Enterobacteriaceae (50 taxa, 69 genes) was conducted to investigate origins of obligate intracellular symbionts within this symbiont-rich group of bacteria. Resulting topologies confirmed at least four independent origins of endosymbiosis within the Enterobacteriaceae and suggest origins of symbionts from phenotypically various bacterial ancestors including gut and pathogenic bacteria or facultative symbionts.
