Abstract
The paramecium strain, originating from Japan, Yamaguchi, belongs to Parame cium jenningsi (type of micronuclei, appearance of autogamy, presence of tw o macronuclear anlagen, dimensions of cells, and the RAPD fingerprints). Th e finding of Paramecium jenningsi in Japan enlarges the range of the specie s believed to be limited to a warm or even tropical climate.
