Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wolbachia is a bacterial genus known for its ability to infect and manipulate the reproduction of various insects. It can cause cytoplasmic incompatibility, feminization, male-killing, and most importantly, sperm-egg incompatibility, leading to infertility or embryonic death. Therefore, Wolbachia has been proposed as a potential tool for population control of insect pests or disease vectors. The other three genera (Allivibrio, Symbiodinium, and Buchnera) are not related to this specific topic.
