Bacterial Endosymbionts of Free‐living Amoebae<sup>1</sup>
1 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of bacterial endosymbionts in free-living amoebae has been known for decades, but their obligate intracellular lifestyle hampered their identification. Application of the full cycle rRNA approach, including 16S rRNA gene sequencing and fluorescence in-situ hybridization with 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes, assigned the symbionts of Acanthamoeba spp. and Hartmannella sp. to five different...
