  • Title: The genomic and metabolic diversity of Rickettsia.
    Author: Fuxelius HH, Darby A, Min CK, Cho NH, Andersson SG.
    Journal: Res Microbiol; 2007 Dec; 158(10):745-53. PubMed ID: 18031998.
    Abstract:
    Comparative genomics of Rickettsia and Orientia has revealed an exciting interplay between reductive evolutionary forces acting on metabolic genes in all species and proliferation of mobile genetic elements in some species. These contradictory evolutionary forces highlight the influence of chance, adaptation and host-cell exploitation during the evolution of intracellular bacteria.
