The bacterium endosymbiont of Crithidia deanei undergoes coordinated division with the host cell nucleus.

In trypanosomatids, cell division involves morphological changes and requires coordinated replication and segregation of the nucleus, kinetoplast and flagellum. In endosymbiont-containing trypanosomatids, like Crithidia deanei, this process is more complex, as each daughter cell contains only a sing...
