Sodalis glossinidius

provided by wikipedia EN

Sodalis glossinidius is a species of bacteria, the type and only species of its genus. It is a microaerophilic secondary endosymbiont of the tsetse fly. Strain M1T is the type strain.[1] Sodalis glossinidius is the only gammaproteobacterial insect symbiont to be cultured and thus amenable to genetic modification, suggesting that it could be used as part of a control strategy by vectoring antitrypanosome genes. The organism may increase the susceptibility of tsetse flies to trypanosomes.[2]

Despite gene erosion and pseudogene multiplication in a genome of Sodalis glossinidius,[3] these pseudogenes remain actively transcribed.[4]

Parasites

S. glossinidius is itself host to a prophage discovered by Clark et al. 2007. [5]
