Fig. 7From: Bacterial endosymbiont Cardinium cSfur genome sequence provides insights for understanding the symbiotic relationship in Sogatella furcifera hostGliding genes profile, PorSS system and PCR confirmation of Cardinium cSfur existence. a Distribution of gld and spr orthologs in the Cytophagias. The genes gldKLMN and sprAET also encode the PorSS system. b Duplication of gldJ and the following 5 genes in the Cardinium cSfur genome. c PCR confirmation of Cardinium cSfur existence in different tissues of S. furcifera. PCR of a fragment of 16S rDNA (766Â bp) and gyrB (575Â bp) gene of different tissues of female and male adults. MG: malpighian tubule, OV/TE: ovary/testis, SG: salivary gland, MT: midgut, FB: fat body, R: rest of body, control: negative control without DNA templateBack to article page
