A fragile metabolic network adapted for cooperation in the symbiotic bacterium Buchnera aphidicola
2009
BMC Systems Biology
AE 2009, 'A fragile metabolic network adapted for cooperation in the symbiotic bacterium Buchnera aphidicola' BMC Systems Biology, vol. 3, no. n/a, 24. ...
Results: We have reconstructed and analysed the metabolic network of the γ-proteobacterium Buchnera aphidicola (symbiont of the pea aphid) as a model for using systems-level approaches to discover key ...

Determinism and Contingency Shape Metabolic Complementation in an Endosymbiotic Consortium
2017
Frontiers in Microbiology
In silico knock-out experiments with iBSCc showed that the consortium metabolism is a highly integrated yet fragile network. ...
Here we present a genome-scale metabolic network (GEM) for the bacterial consortium from the cedar aphid iBSCc. ...
Altogether, the two metabolic networks involved in the C. cedri consortium are highly constrained and fragile. ...

Small genomes and the difficulty to define minimal translation and metabolic machineries
2015
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Citation: Gil R and Peretó J (2015) Small genomes and the difficulty to define minimal translation and metabolic machineries. Front. Ecol. Evol. 3:123. ...
If we take gene essentiality as a proxy of network fragility, small metabolic networks are more fragile against gene FIGURE 1 | Network fragility increases with metabolic minimization. ...
In other words, the number of alternative pathways able to rescue for a specific deleted enzymatic step is drastically reduced and the consequent fragility of the network could limit its usefulness as ...

Natural selection drove metabolic specialization of the chromatophore in Paulinella chromatophora
2017
BMC Evolutionary Biology
We found that the evolution of free-living to host-restricted lifestyle rendered a fragile metabolic network where >80% of genes in the chromatophore are essential for metabolic functionality. ...
In addition, our in silico simulations of the evolutionary process leading to the reduced metabolic network of the chromatophore showed that the predicted rate of released reduced-carbon is obtained in ...

In many well-studied cases, microbial symbiosis is characterized by a specialized association between a host and a specific microbe that provides it with one or more beneficial functions, such as novel ...
Aphids engage in a nutritional symbiosis with a so-called primary symbiont, Buchnera aphidicola, but also harbor a secondary bacterial symbiont, Hamiltonella defensa, which confers protection against parasitoid ...

Individuality, the Major Transitions, and the Evolutionary Contingency Thesis
[article]
2017
In this dissertation, I explore the reach of the Evolutionary Contingency Thesis—a view that emphasizes the role of dependency relations and chance in evolution (Gould 1989, Beatty 2006a). ...
Finally, I extend the contingency analysis to a topic in philosophy of medicine: The nature of cancer. ...
