| conversion of spheroplast symbiotes in a leafhopper, helochara communis fitch (cicadellidae: homoptera). | in mycetomes of leafhoppers, helochara communis, ultrastructural and histochemical studies revealed that spheroplast symbiotes (t-symbiotes) were converted to 'a-symbiotes' (so-called), with apparent loss of dna--a phenomenon reminiscent of rhizobium-bacteroid conversion in certain legume nodules. additional t-symbiotes were incorporated into the substance of these 'a-symbiotes'. | 1975 | 163130 |

| endosymbiosis in a leafhopper, helochara communis fitch (cicadellidae: homoptera): symbiote translocation and auxiliary cells in the mycetome. | at times, symbiote populations in mycetomes of helochara communis are apparently increased by translocation of symbiotes from adjacent mycetocytes. these symbiotes appear to reproduce in mycetomes and become phagocytosed by 'auxiliary' cells (probably hemocytes) that invade mycetomes at zones of disruption supposedly resulting from reproduction of the translocated symbiotes. some phagocytosed symbiotes degenerate in large vacuoles; others become lodged in smaller vacuoles that supply a third mem ... | 2005 | 1111861 |
