the toxic symbiont caedibacter caryophila in the cytoplasm of paramecium novaurelia.	endosymbiotic bacteria were observed to inhabit the cytoplasm of the freshwater ciliate paramecium novaurelia. transmission electron microscopy and toxicity tests with sensitive paramecia showed that the endosymbionts belong to the genus caedibacter. the bacteria conferred a killer trait to their host paramecia. the production of a proteinaceous inclusion body ("r-body") in the bacterial cell makes them toxic to other paramecia after they become enclosed in food vacuoles. r-bodies of caedibacter ...	2000	12035091
paramecium novaurelia in the gorgany mts (eastern carpathians) in ukraine.	in the samples collected on the territory of the recently studied region of the eastern carpathians, i.e. in the gorgany mts, the presence of p. novaurelia was recorded in the samples collected from the bog situated on the jablonica pass at an altitude of 100 m. this is the first record of the presence of p. novaurelia in the gorgany mts.	2002	12597532
species of the paramecium aurelia complex in russia (western region of european russia) with molecular characteristics of paramecium novaurelia.	the presence of p. primaurelia, p. biaurelia, p. triaurelia, and p. novaurelia of the p. aurelia complex was revealed in the studied region of russia. rapd-pcr fingerprints (band patterns) of newly identified p. novaurelia strains from russia were compared to those characteristic for the other chosen european strains of the species. the strains revealed intraspecific polymorphism as several groups of genotypes confirming the existence of polymorphism within p. novaurelia.	2006	17044259
first american stand of paramecium novaurelia and intra-specific differentiation of the species.	a stand of paramecium novaurelia was found in boston massachusetts, usa, the first on this continent. molecular studies (rapd and sequencing ofrrna [3'ssurrna-its1, 5' lsu rrna] and coi mtdna fragments) of p. novaurelia strains show intra-specific polymorphism within the species as strain clusters characterized by variable relationships.	2007	17687935
[comparative description of macronuclear electrophoretic karyotypes of paramecium primaurelia and paramecium novaurelia sibling species].	the macronuclear genomes of two sibling species belonging to the paramecium aurelia complex--p. primaurelia and p. novaurelia--were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge). their electrophoretic karyotypes showed a continuous spectrum of different-sized dna molecules with a species-specific pattern of banding, which was reproducible and did not change with strain senescence. thus, p. aurelia macronuclear pfge profiles could be described by an approach analogous to that used for the d ...	2008	19062526
intraspecific differentiation of paramecium novaurelia strains (ciliophora, protozoa) inferred from phylogenetic analysis of ribosomal and mitochondrial dna variation.	paramecium novaurelia beale and schneller, 1954, was first found in scotland and is known to occur mainly in europe, where it is the most common species of the p. aurelia complex. in recent years, two non-european localities have been described: turkey and the united states of america. this article presents the analysis of intraspecific variability among 25 strains of p. novaurelia with the application of ribosomal and mitochondrial loci (its1-5.8s-its2, 5' large subunit rdna (5'lsu rdna) and cy ...	2013	22819127
