SYNOPSIS. Starvation of Isotricha prostoma for 72–96 hours decreased the cellular amylopectin granules and facilitated the microscopic search for bacterial feeding. I. prostoma selected and ingested only certain rods from among many types of rumen bacteria. In order to isolate the bacteria important as a food source for Isotricha, the starved protozoa were allowed to feed on mixed rumen bacteria, washed, and the crushed protozoan contents quickly cultured for bacteria. Several strains of bacteria were isolated in pure culture. Three of the rod strains isolated were rapidly ingested by I. prostoma when fed to the ciliate. In a monobacterial culture I. prostoma divided once before succumbing.
