Crithidia deanei, symbiote-free strain has highly negative surface charge which is slightly reduced by presence of endosymbiote, treatment of both strains with neuraminidase decreased significantly electrophoretic mobility of cells toward cathodic pole indicating existence of exposed sialic acid res...
