SYNOPSIS. Chloramphenicol cured Crithidia deanei of its endosymbiote. The derived aposymbiotic strain had additional growth requirements: purin (as adenine), heme, arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and pantothenate and liver infusion (replaceable by high nicotinamide).
