Localization of perialgal vacuoles beneath the host cell surface is not a prerequisite phenomenon for protection from the host's lysosomal fusion in the ciliate Paramecium bursaria
{{output}}
In a ciliate Paramecium bursaria cell, each symbiotic 3-4-mum-diameter Chlorella cell is enclosed within a perialgal vacuole membrane. It localizes near trichocysts beneath the host cell surface. Gomori's staining of this surface shows that it is an acid phosp... ...
