sp. nov., a Killer Symbiont Inhabiting the Macronucleus of Free

Abstract

sp. nov. lives in the macronucleus of certain strains of . The type strain is 221, carried in C221. is distinguished from other caedibacteria on the basis of host specificity, R body morphology, behavior of R bodies, and guanine-plus-cytosine content of its deoxyribonucleic acid.
