Symbiopectobacterium purcellii[1] |
Members of the genus Symbiopectobacterium are bacterial symbionts of arthropods, particularly hemipteran insects, as well as being described from nematode worms. The first record of a member of this genus was the BEV strain (bacterium of Euscelidius variegatus) isolated by Alexander Purcell from leafhoppers [2]. The microbe showed both horizontal transmission between through plant surfaces and vertical transmission through eggs[3]; infection of the leafhopper was thought to potentiate phytoplasm transmission from insect to plant [4].
Strains allied to this genus (as based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and other markers) have also been retrieved from bedbugs [5] and a range of other hemipteran insects. The bulrush bug Chilacis carries a related vertically transmitted symbiont housed in a gut mycetome, in what appears to be an obligate association[6]. Latterly, the symbiont was described as an obligate symbiont of Howardula nematodes, where the name Ca. Symbiopectobacterium was first used [7]. The recovery of Symbiopectobacterium into pure culture from the insect Empoasca decipiens led to its formal description as a bacterial genus [8].
