Characterization of a <i>Pseudokeronopsis</i> Strain (Ciliophora, Urostylida) and Its Bacterial Endosymbiont “<i>Candidatus</i> Trichorickettsia” (<i>Alphaproteobacteria</i>, <i>Rickettsiales</i>)

Characterization of a <i>Pseudokeronopsis</i> Strain (Ciliophora, Urostylida) and Its Bacterial Endosymbiont “<i>Candidatus</i> Trichorickettsia” (<i>Alphaproteobacteria</i>, <i>Rickettsiales</i>)

Symbiotic associations between bacteria and ciliate protists are rather common. In particular, several cases were reported involving bacteria of the alphaproteobacterial lineage <i>Rickettsiales</i>, but the diversity, features, and interactions in these associations are still poorly und...
