| Research Abstract |
Paramecium bursaira cells harbor about 700 of symbiotic Chlorella spp. in their cytoplasm. The purpose of this research project was clarification of the mechanism of the algal reinfection process to the alga-free P. bursaria. In this research period, we have gotten some data about the mechanism of the algal resistance to the host lysosomal enzymes in the digestive vacuole, of the algal escape from the host digestive vacuole to the cytoplasm, and of the algal localization beneath the host cell cortex.
