The existenceof symbiotic relationships between prokaryotes and ciliate protozao is known from over century. During this study we observed at DIC microscope the presence of spindle-shaped objects in all macronulei of ciliates.. To further characterize this symbiont, bacterial DNA was extrated.

Abstract
The existenceof symbiotic relationships between prokaryotes and ciliate protozao is known from over century. During this study we observed at DIC microscope the presence of spindle-shaped objects in all macronulei of ciliates.. To further characterize this symbiont, bacterial DNA was extrated. The 16S rRNA sequence was obtained by touchdown PCR reaction with specific primers. Molecolar data obtained up to now suggest the belonging of this organism to novel specie di holosporageneFile in questo prodotto:
