Bacterial Endosymbionts of Mucoromycota Fungi: Diversity and Function of their Interactions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Evolution of Fungi and Fungal-Like Organisms

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 14))

Abstract

Endosymbiotic bacteria are commonly inhabitants of environmental isolates of Mucoromycota fungi. Described bacterial endosymbionts of Mucoromycota are related to Burkholderia and Mycoplasma lineages. Bacterial endosymbionts of Mucoromycota tend to be obligately dependent on their fungal host for nutrition, but bacterial endosymbionts are not always needed for normal vegetative growth by their fungal hosts. When present in the fungal cytosol, bacterial endosymbionts alter fungal physiology including gene expression, protein synthesis, metabolism, and sporulation. Many bacterial endosymbionts have steamlined genomes due to reductive evolution, and the categories of functional gene loss differ by fungal host lineage. Much remains to be learned about bacterial endosymbionts of fungi regarding their ubiquity, transmission, and fungal host interactions.
