Abstract
A strain of Amoeba proteus has lost its ability to survive at temperatures above 26°C as a result of becoming dependent on endosymbiotic bacteria that are psychrophile-like. The observed temperature sensitivity develops in fewer than 200 host cell generations (18 months of culture) after the host cells are experimentally infected with the symbionts.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
