Abstract
⺠We analyzed evolution of genome size and sex ratio distortion (SRD) in endosymbiont. ⺠We revealed that the process significantly depends on cytoplasmic inheritance mode. ⺠The dynsmics could involve bistability of two symbiotic states. ⺠The bistability may result in hysteresis in the evolutionary process of endosymbiont.
