In Paramecium aurelia, syngen 4, gene ts21m, which is shown to segregate normally and independently of two other genes: ts111 and m1; is closely linked to gene ts401. The frequency of then recombination is of the order of a few per cent. Genetic analysis was carried out to confirm the genotypes of both double mutants and wild-type recombinants among F2 clones from crosses ts21m × ts401. This is the first case of linkage so far reported in P. aurelia.
