Abstract
ABSTRACT Here we investigated the bacterial endosymbionts of weevils of the genus Curculio . From all four species of Curculio weevils examined, a novel group of bacterial gene sequences were consistently identified. Molecular phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that the sequences formed a distinct clade in the Gammaproteobacteria , which was not related to previously known groups of weevil endosymbiont
