In this study, we describe another bristle‐like ectosymbiont affiliated with the order\n                    \u003cjats:italic\u003eBacteroidales\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                    . The 16S rRNA phylotype Rs‐N74 predominates among\n                    \u003cjats:italic\u003eBacteroidales\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                    clones obtained from the gut of the termite\n                    \u003cjats:italic\u003eReticulitermes speratus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                    . An Rs‐N74 phylotype‐specific probe was designed in this study and used for detection of the corresponding bacteria in the gut by fluorescence\n                    \u003cjats:italic\u003ein situ\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                    hybridization (FISH) analysis. Surprisingly, the signals were detected specifically from the bristle‐like ‘appendages’ of various flagellate species belonging to the genus\n                    \u003cjats:italic\u003eDinenympha\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                    ; these ‘appendages’ had been believed to be spirochetal ectosymbionts or structures of the protists. The Rs‐N74 bacteria attached to the cell surface of the protists by a tip and coexisted with the spirochetal ectosymbionts. An electron micrograph revealed their morphology to be similar to a typical\n                    \u003cjats:italic\u003eBacteroidales\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                    bacterium. This bacterium is proposed to represent a novel genus and species, ‘\n                    \u003cjats:italic\u003eCandidatus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                    Symbiothrix dinenymphae’, phylogenetically affiliated with a cluster consisting exclusively of uncultured strains from termite guts.
