: Proposal for a development mode of ALNs. A phase of intracellular production assisted by the host seems to be at the origin of the ALNs, which after bursting from the host are released into the environment. The free ALNs enter an autonomous and regressive phase, with interconversions of forms and multiplication by budding. Prokaryotes may play a role in ALN recycling.
