Dear Fellow Protistologists,
The books on my shelf do not offer much help in understanding the
terms syngen and mating type in ciliates. I would be grateful
receiving exact definition for these term and I would also like
to know if there is any ambiguity about their usage (do all people
use them in the same sense?). Last question: are these terms used
outside the ciliatological community?
All help appreciated,
Detlef Leipe
