title: Polymorphism within Paramecium sexaurelia (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) and description of a new stand of the species in China.
abstract: The presence of Paramecium sexaurelia from the Paramecium aurelia complex was recorded for the first time in China (Beijing). RAPD fingerprints (band patterns) of P. sexaurelia strains, the new strain from China and others from Asia, as well as from Europe and Puerto Rico, showed polymorphism within the species as several groups of genotypes characterized by different band patterns.
