Candidatus Carsonella ruddii
Pseudomonadota |
Cacopsylla pyricolaCzech |
Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Candidatus Carsonella ruddii produces most essential amino acids (EAAs) for Cacopsylla pyricola, and its co-symbiont (Candidatus Psyllophila) complements the tryptophan pathway and synthesizes vitamins and carotenoids. |
