This project aimed to characterize the bacterial community associated with single isolated protist cells from the hindgut of Reticulitermes flavipes. Since these protist hosts are not yet cultivated a
Microbial interactions have garnered much attention and are considered central to global processes across ecological and evolutionary time scales. In particular endosymbiosis between single cell proti
Ciliates are the largest group of ubiquitous aquatic bacterivorous protists, and many species are easily cultivated. However, only few studies reported prokaryotic communities naturally associated wit
