Environmental Molecular Biology Laboratory, RIKEN, Wako, Saitama 351 0198, Japan
Science 314:267. 2006..Genes for translation and amino acid biosynthesis are relatively well represented, but numerous genes considered essential for life are missing, suggesting that Carsonella may have achieved organelle-like status...
