Abstract
Xiphinematobacter
spp. are distinctly evolved intracellular symbionts in the phylum
Verrucomicrobia
, which includes the important human gut-associated microbe
Akkermansia muciniphila
and many highly abundant free-living soil microbes. Like
Akkermansia
sp.,
Xiphinematobacter
sp. is obligately associated with the gut of its hosts, which in this case consists of a group of plant-parasitic nematodes that are among the top 10 most destructive species to global agriculture, by vectoring plant viruses.
