ABSTRACT
Two bacterial symbionts of the European pest leafhopper,
Macrosteles quadripunctulatus
(Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), were fully sequenced. “
Candidatus
Sulcia muelleri” and “
Ca
. Nasuia deltocephalinicola” represent two of the smallest known bacterial genomes at 190 kb and 112 kb, respectively. Genome sequences are nearly identical to strains reported from the closely related host species,
M. quadrilineatus
.
