citri, 5 bacterial symbionts were identified in a molecular survey including the primary (mycetocyte) symbiont Candidatus Carsonella rudii, a secondary (syncytium) symbiont related to species in the genera Oxalobacter and Herbaspirillum, an Arsenophonus species, Ca.

The third sequence (1459 bp, GenBank accession EF450250) produced significant alignments to the 16S rRNA gene of a [gamma]-proteobacterial species and was 99% identical to a homologous region of the 16S rRNA gene sequence from the primary (mycetocyte) symbiont, Ca.

This ultra-structural examination afforded an additional control: commensals present in the lumen and specialized to that environment might not grow on culture plates, but commensals and mycetocytes, insect cells that incorporate microorganisms (Chapman, 1969), can be distinguished at the ultrastructural level (Smith, 1968).
