Draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa," an endosymbiont of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci

J Bacteriol. 2012 Jul;194(13):3558. doi: 10.1128/JB.00069-12.

Abstract

"Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa" is a facultative endosymbiont of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Herein, we report the first draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa" from the invasive Mediterranean cryptic species of the B. tabaci complex. The 1.84-Mbp genome sequence comprises 404 contigs and contains 1,806 predicted protein-coding genes.
