host originally classified as S. assimilis, but likely to represent a different species as it is described in a different host termite species from the original S. assimilis. The study reporting the nuclear symbiont mixed protists from two termite host speceis (N. mona, N. jouteli) (English)

Intranuclear bacteria observed in about 4% of cells; nuclei "swollen" when infected to about 30 micrometers (vs. 10 micrometers usually); coccoid, Gram-negative (English)
