Taxonomy

Description
Azoamicus ciliaticola, which is an obligate endosymbiont of an anaerobic ciliate and has a dedicated role in respiration and providing energy for its eukaryotic host. 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. 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.
