A 63-kDa Periplasmic Protein of the Endonuclear Symbiotic Bacterium <i>Holospora obtusa</i> Secreted to the Outside of the Bacterium during the Early Infection Process Binds Weakly to the Macronuclear DNA of the Host <i>Paramecium caudatum</i>

A 63-kDa Periplasmic Protein of the Endonuclear Symbiotic Bacterium <i>Holospora obtusa</i> Secreted to the Outside of the Bacterium during the Early Infection Process Binds Weakly to the Macronuclear DNA of the Host <i>Paramecium caudatum</i>

The Gram-negative bacterium <i>Holospora obtusa</i> is a macronucleus-specific symbiont of the ciliate <i>Paramecium caudatum</i>. It is known that an infection of this bacterium induces high level expressions of the host <i>hsp60</i> and <i>hsp70</i>...
