Abstract

Obligately endosymbiotic bacteria living in the cytoplasm of ciliates of the genus constitute the new genus gen. nov. These endosymbionts are commonly known as omicron and omicronlike particles. The best-studied form, as well as the type species, is omicron from stock 15 of . We propose the name gen. nov., sp. nov., for this bacterium.
