method used to identify object
transmission electron microscopy
autofluorescence of cofactor F420
metagenomic DNA sequencing
phylogenetic marker sequencing
free text note
two morphotypes observed by TEM, one in cytoplasm close to hydrogenosomes, the other enclosed in vacuoles, but these may be pleiomorphy of same organism. Host is related to Heterometopus palaeformis, which also has methanogens. Genome 2.02 Mbp, not "significantly" reduced compared to free-living congeners, interpreted as a recently acquired symbiont (English)
