Establishment of an unfed strain of Paramecium bursaria and analysis of associated bacterial communities controlling its proliferation

The ciliate Paramecium bursaria harbors several hundred symbiotic algae in its cell and is widely used as an experimental model for studying symbiosis between eukaryotic cells. Currently, various types of bacteria and eukaryotic microorganisms are used as food for culturing P. bursaria; thus, the cu...
