细菌内共生体在强烈的宿主驱动选择下进化。影响宿主进化的因素可能会以类似的方式影响共生体，可能导致宿主和共生体的分子进化速率之间的相关性。虽然有证据表明线粒体和核基因之间的相关性，类似的调查主机和共生体缺乏。在这里，我们展示了一个内共生体（Blattabacterium cuenoti）的基因组和线粒体基因组的宿主（蟑螂）之间的分子速率的相关性。我们使用了多株B. cuenotito比较了55对蟑螂/共生体的系统发育关系和进化速率。B. Cuenotia和它们的宿主的线粒体基因组在很大程度上是一致的，正如它们相同的母系和细胞质遗传模式所预期的那样。我们发现两个基因组的进化速率之间的相关性，根到顶端的距离和比较的分支长度的遗传独立的物种对的基础上。我们的研究结果强调了长期共生对每个共生伙伴的生物学的深远影响。
Bacterial endosymbionts evolve under strong host-driven selection. Factors influencing host evolution might affect symbionts in similar ways, potentially leading to correlations between the molecular evolutionary rates of hosts and symbionts. Although there is evidence of rate correlations between mitochondrial and nuclear genes, similar investigations of hosts and symbionts are lacking. Here, we demonstrate a correlation in molecular rates between the genomes of an endosymbiont (Blattabacterium cuenoti) and the mitochondrial genomes of their hosts (cockroaches). We used partial genome data for multiple strains ofB. cuenotito compare phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary rates for 55 cockroach/symbiont pairs. The phylogenies inferred forB. cuenotiand the mitochondrial genomes of their hosts were largely congruent, as expected from their identical maternal and cytoplasmic mode of inheritance. We found a correlation between evolutionary rates of the two genomes, based on comparisons of root-to-tip distances and on comparisons of the branch lengths of phylogenetically independent species pairs. Our results underscore the profound effects that long-term symbiosis can have on the biology of each symbiotic partner.
