“…The growth rate of P. bursaria cultured in this system was comparable with those reported for other systems (Fig. A, upper panel, and Table ; Siegel, ; Karakashian, ; Weis, ; Kadono et al ., ; Omura et al ., ), confirming that S. cerevisiae cells were suitable prey for P. bursaria . Neither visible cellular aggregation nor biofilm was formed in the culture at least during growth measurements, probably because of the absence of bacteria.…”

“…The population dynamics of the host P. bursaria and the endosymbiotic algae demonstrated the significant differences in their growth properties. Although growth rates were markedly different in constant darkness, they were comparable in the mid‐log phase under the normal light regime, as previously described (Weis, ). However, even under the normal light regime, the growth of the two organisms exhibited time lags, which were the main cause of the dynamic behaviours of the endosymbiont population size in the host cells.…”

“…Irrespective of the mutual relations between P. bursaria and symbiotic algae [711], the symbiont-free cells and the symbiotic algae retain the ability to grow without a partner. Symbiont-free cells can be prepared by various means: cultivation under constant dark conditions [1214], treatment with cycloheximide [3, 15, 16], and treatment with the photosynthesis inhibitor dichlorophenyl dimethylurea (DCMU) [17]. However, symbiotic algae can be isolated by homogenization or by sonication or by the treatment of symbiotic cells with detergent.…”

“…These associations include various developmental stages, specifically (i) a tentative or unstable stage, we call early stage, in which partners live together during parts of life cycles depending on their ecological interactions (Reisser, 1986(Reisser, , 1993Smith & Douglas, 1987); (ii) a stable stage, in which partners live together throughout their entire life cycles and reproduce synchronously with a high rate of vertical transmission (Weis, 1969); and (iii) a genetically unified stage, often characterized by gene transfer, gene loss and/or genome reduction (McFadden, 2001). In this continuum of evolutionary stages, the early process through which unassociated organisms of different species can evolve new phenotypes to associate with each other is an important initial step.…”
