Genome assembly of a symbiotic balantidia (Balantidium ctenopharyngodoni) in fish hindgut

Abstract Balantidium ctenopharyngodoni is identified as the sole ciliate species that exclusively resides within the hindgut of grass carp with high prevalence and intensity. In this study, the successful cultivation of B. ctenopharyngodoni enabled us to collect enough cells for genome sequencing. C...
