Draft Genome Sequence of Erwinia dacicola , a Dominant Endosymbiont of Olive Flies

Abstract

Erwinia dacicola is a dominant endosymbiont of the pestiferous olive fly. Its genome is similar in size and GC content to those of free-living Erwinia species, including the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora . Erwinia dacicola is a dominant endosymbiont of the pestiferous olive fly. Its genome is similar in size and GC content to those of free-living Erwinia species, including the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora . The E. dacicola genome encodes the metabolic capability to supplement and detoxify the olive fly’s diet in larval and adult stages.
