Buchnera the nutritional endosymbiont of A. pisum is located inside of bacteriocytes and requires aspartate from the aphid host, because it cannot make it de novo. Further Buchnera needs aspartate for the biosynthesis of the essential amino acids lysine and threonine, which the aphid and Buchnera require for survival |
