Sulcia muelleri
Bacteroidota |
Bacteria
|
Sulcia muelleri is involved in the production of seven essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine, threonine, lysine, arginine, and phenylalanine). |

Sulcia muelleri
Bacteroidota |
Bacteria
|
Sulcia muelleri supports the production of eight of the 10 essential amino acids (arginine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, lysine, threonine, isoleucine, leucine, and valine). |

Intracellular
|
Sulcia selectively maintains genes replacing functions of its predecessor for amino-acid biosynthesis and retains genes underlying efficient routes of energy production, including a complete TCA cycle, potentially relaxing the severe energy limitations of the xylem-feeding hosts (amino acid provision, growth regulation). |
