Abstract
PKX organism is identified as a new species of the myxozoan genus Tetracaps ula, for which the name Tetracapsula bryosalmonae n.sp. is proposed. It inf ects several species of phylactolaemate bryozoans and salmonid fish. It is differentiated from the type species Tetracapsula bryozoides in that spores are derived by aggregation of cells rather than by division of a single sp orogonic cell, by minor morphological features and by its 18S rDNA sequence .
