Microinjection of magnetic micro-beads instead of endosymbiotic chlorella into Paramecium bursaria and their behavior.
Instead of zoochlorella endosymbionts, magnetic micro-beads (Dynabeads) was microinjected into P. bursaria white strain which can resultantly response to magnetism. The system may provide an interesting artificial endosymbiosis system.
