Evidence for bacteriophages within Neochlamydia hartmannellae, an obligate endoparasitic bacterium of the freeliving amoeba Hartmannella vermiformis Volume 14 Endocytobiosis and Cell Research Chlamydia-like organisms, described as Neochlamydia hartmannellae were found in an amoebal strain of the genus Hartmannella. Due to 16S rRNA sequences Neochlamydia is distantly related to Parachlamydia. While in Parachlamydia no bacteriophages are known so far, electron microscopy revealed that the endocytobiotic strain of Neochlamydia hartmannellae was infected with virus-like particles resembling bacteriophages. 115-119 2001 1984 jportal_jpjournal_00000006 2007-08-08T15:40:24.801Z 2010-12-16T12:05:51.211Z
