Figure Lengend Snippet: A Complete PG Biosynthesis Pathway Is Predicted by Genomics (A) Schematic representation of a single P. citri bacteriocyte (blue), where Moranella cells and their two lipid bilayers (green) reside inside of triple-membrane-bound Tremblaya cells (yellow). (B) Adapted from Typas et al., 2011 . A pictorial representation of the genes present and expressed on the genomes of P. citri (blue represents native eukaryotic genes, brown represents HGTs of Gammaproteobacteria origin, orange represents HGTs of Bacteroidetes origin, and yellow represents Alphaproteobacteria origin) and Moranella (green) that are involved in PG production. The locations of the small colored cell schematics labeled with gene names are based on the predicted location of the protein product of that gene. See also .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative Setup for Rearing and Feeding Experiments Involving P. citri , Related to , , , and Mealybugs (yellow arrows) were allowed to feed and reproduce on sprouted potatoes. Where treatments were applied, potatoes (often focusing on the sprouts) were covered and/or injected with 1 mL of the given treatment (modified D- or L-ala, cefsulodin, or water). Mealybugs were carefully placed on the potato with a paintbrush and allowed to eat ad libitum . Treatments were repeated each day for one week.

Figure Lengend Snippet: MurF, a PG-Related HGT of Alphaproteobacterial Origin, Is Localized to the Moranella Cytoplasm Representative confocal image of a sectioned bacteriome stained with an anti-MurF antibody (red). Insect nuclei are stained with Hoechst (blue). Signal is detected inside of the Moranella cells and insect tissue, but not Tremblaya. Scale bar, 10 μm.
