Genus of bacteria

Symbiopectobacterium Scientific classification Domain: Bacteria Kingdom: Pseudomonadati Phylum: Pseudomonadota Class: Gammaproteobacteria Order: Enterobacterales Family: Enterobacteriaceae Genus: Symbiopectobacterium Nadal et al. 2022 Type species Symbiopectobacterium purcellii.[1]

***Symbiopectobacterium*** is a genus of [bacteria](/source/Bacteria) which are all symbionts of [arthropods](/source/Arthropod), particularly [hemipteran](/source/Hemiptera) insects, as well as being described from [nematode worms](/source/Nematode_worm). The first record of a member of this genus was the BEV strain (bacterium of *Euscelidius variegatus*) isolated by Alexander Purcell from [leafhoppers](/source/Leafhopper).[2] The [microbe](/source/Microbe) showed both horizontal transmission between through plant surfaces and vertical transmission through eggs;[3] infection of the leafhopper was thought to potentiate [phytoplasm](/source/Phytoplasm) transmission from insect to plant.[4]

Strains allied to this genus (as based on 16S rRNA [gene](/source/Gene) sequence and other markers) have also been retrieved from [bedbugs](/source/Bedbug)[5] and a range of other hemipteran insects. The bulrush bug *[Chilacis](/source/Chilacis)* carries a related vertically transmitted symbiont housed in a gut mycetome, in what appears to be an obligate association.[6] Latterly, the symbiont was described as an obligate symbiont of *[Howardula](/source/Howardula)* nematodes, where the name *Ca.* Symbiopectobacterium was first used.[7] The recovery of *Symbiopectobacterium* into pure culture from the insect *[Empoasca decipiens](/source/Empoasca_decipiens)* led to its formal description as a bacterial genus.[8]
