Genome Property Definition Page
Accession | GenProp0286 |
Name | intracellular survival |
Type | PHENOTYPIC |
Description | Many bacteria with completed genome sequences survive, either obligately or facultatively, inside eukaryotic cells. Some are pathogens, others endosymbionts that provide benefits such as amino acid biosynthesis. Obligate is defined here to mean required for growth, and allows for the existance of inert extracellular forms such as the spore-like elementary bodies of Coxiella burnetii. |
