| Genus Azoamicus | [A.zo.a'mi.cus] N.L. pref. azo-, pertaining to nitrogen; L. masc. n. amicus, friend; N.L. masc. n. Azoamicus, friend that pertains to nitrogen | ‘Candidatus Azoamicus ciliaticola’ is an obligate endosymbiont of an anaerobic ciliate and has a dedicated role in respiration and providing energy for its eukaryotic host. ‘Candidatus A. ciliaticola’ contains a highly reduced 0.29-Mb genome that encodes core genes for central information processing, the electron transport chain, a truncated tricarboxylic acid cycle, ATP generation and iron–sulfur cluster biosynthesis. The genome encodes a respiratory denitrification pathway instead of aerobic terminal oxidases, which enables its host to breathe nitrate instead of oxygen. ‘Candidatus A. ciliaticola’ and its ciliate host represent an example of a symbiosis that is based on the transfer of energy in the form of ATP, rather than nutrition.
