Single-cell amplicon sequencing reveals community structures and transmission trends of protist-associated bacteria in a termite host.

The hindgut protists of wood-feeding termites are usually colonized by prokaryotic symbionts. Many of the hurdles that have prevented a better understanding of these symbionts arise from variation among protist and termite host species and the inability to maintain prominent community members in cul...
