Growth of Protochlamydia W-9 (W9) and Parachlamydia Bn9 (Pac) in Acanthamoeba C3. a Representative images of DAPI staining showing Protochlamydia W9-infected C3 amoebae (Day 5 post-infection) and Parachlamydia Bn9-infected C3 amoebae (Day 3 post-infection). Arrows show bacterial clusters in each amoeba. b Changes in the number of chlamydial 16S rRNA copies per well. The data represent the average number of copies ± SD. The bacterial 16S rRNA copy numbers were normalized with the amoebal 18S rRNA copy numbers. *indicates p < 0.05 vs. value at 1 day
