Essay
Genome sequencing of the bacterial symbionts of animals has allowed us to compare the genomic features of several symbionts.The following data were collected on two insect symbionts:
Symbiont A: 0.4 Mb genome,20% G+C content,missing or incomplete peptidoglycan synthesis and nucleotide synthesis pathways.
Symbiont B: 1.8 Mb genome,40% G+C content,peptidoglycan and most nucleotide synthesis pathways complete.
What can you deduce about these two insect symbionts based on their genomes?
