Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA support close relationships between theGammaproteobacteria Sodalis glossinidius, a tsetse (Diptera: Glossinidae) symbiont, and bacteria infecting diverse insect orders. To further examine the evolutionary relationships of theseSodalis-like symbionts, phylogenetic trees were constructed for a subset of putative surface-encoding genes (i.e.ompA,spr, slyB,rcsF,ycfM, andompC). TheompA andompC loci were used toward examining the intra- and interspecific diversity ofSodaliswithin tsetse, respectively. Intraspecific analyses ofompA support elevated nonsynonymous (dN) polymorphism with an excess of singletons, indicating diversifying selection, specifically within the tsetseGlossina morsitans. Additionally, interspecificompC comparisons betweenSodalisandEscherichia colidemonstrate deviation from neutrality, with higher fixeddNobserved at sites associated with extracellular loops. Surface-encoding genes varied in their phylogenetic resolution ofSodalisand related bacteria, suggesting conserved vs. host-specific roles. Moreover,Sodalisand its close relatives exhibit genetic divergence at thercsF,ompA, andompC loci, indicative of initial molecular divergence. The application of outer membrane genes as markers for further delineating the systematics of recently diverged bacteria is discussed. These results increase our understanding of insect symbiont evolution, while also identifying early genome alterations occurring upon integration of microorganisms with eukaryotic hosts.
