MOLECULAR EVOLUTION. “A possible molecular cause of this phenomenon comes from the observation that cifA and cifB bind each other, and so binding affinities may be greatest between coevolved genes. If this is the case, then there would be strong selection against recombination between the genes as this could generate symbionts that are unable to rescue crosses with infected females.”
