<entity_0> is a ciliate of the genus <entity_1>. In contrast to certain other <entity_2> of the genus, <entity_0> can be maintained in culture for short periods only. The food strategy of the new <entity_2> appears to be intermediate between heterotrophic <entity_2>, such as <entity_1> pulex and <entity_1> pupula, and <entity_2> with red cryptomonad endosymbionts, such as <entity_1> rubrum.
