First molecular evidence that perialgal vacuole membrane maturation is temporally regulated during establishment of Chlorella variabilis photoendosymbiosis in Paramecium tritobursaria
Photoendosymbiosis between the ciliate Paramecium tritobursaria and the green alga Chlorella variabilis provides a model for understanding stable photoendosymbiosis.
Photoendosymbiosis between the ciliate Paramecium tritobursaria and the green alga Chlorella variabilis provides a model for understanding stable photoendosymbiosis. A defining feature of this association is the perialgal vacuole (PV) membrane, a host-derived membrane that…
