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. The E. dacicola genome encodes the metabolic capability to supplement and detoxify the olive fly's diet in larval and adult stages. Copyright 2018 Estes et al.
