Selfing, inbreeding, and outcrossing in Encephalitozoon cuniculi. (A) Proposed modes of reproduction and mating systems present within laboratory strains of Encephalitozoon cuniculi. (B) Hypothesis regarding the modes of reproduction and mating systems present within natural populations of Encephalitozoon cuniculi. (C) Same mechanisms shown in panels A and B but involving the fusion of two diploid mating type cells to increase ploidy, followed by meiosis to generate the progeny.
