"Here [researchers] describe the genomic properties of an a-Proteobacterial
symbiont (for which [researchers] propose the name Candidatus Hodgkinia
cicadicola) from the cicada Diceroprocta semicincta (Davis 1928) [17].
[Researchers] show that at only 143,795 bps it has the smallest known cellular
genome, but has a high GC content of 58.4% and a recoding of
UGA Stop?Trp." |
