Paramecium bursaria(Ehrenberg) and an endozoic zoochlorellaChlorella conductrix(Brandt) live in a symbiotic relationship. Uptake of NaH14CO3was studied to determine if carbohydrate products of photosynthesis are transferred to the host paramecium.Paramecium bursariacontaining the algal symbionts took up NaH14CO3but those without the algal symbionts did not. Radioactive maltose, glucose, fructose and malate were identified from the ethanolic extract of paramecia.Transfer of materials fromParamecium to Chlorellaand the transfer of other materials fromChlorellatoParamecium, led to the conclusion that this is a mutualistic relationship, both organisms benefiting from the relationship.
