A New Model Trypanosomatid, <i>Novymonas esmeraldas</i> : Genomic Perception of Its “ <i>Candidatus</i> Pandoraea novymonadis” Endosymbiont

Abstract

, substantial suppression of many metabolic pathways, and increased oxidative stress. Our success with the genetic transformation of this flagellate makes it a new model trypanosomatid species that can be used for the dissection of mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationships between protists and bacteria.
