The first genome sequence of an intracellular bacterial symbiont of a eukaryotic cell has been determined. The Buchnera genome shares features with the genomes of both intracellular pathogenic bacteria and eukaryotic organelles, and it may represent an intermediate between the two.
真核细胞内共生细菌的首个基因组序列已被测定。布赫纳氏菌基因组兼具细胞内致病细菌和真核细胞器基因组的特征,它可能代表了两者之间的一种中间类型。
