Consistent superstrings as solutions of the D = 26 bosonic string theory

Consistent closed ten-dimensional superstrings, i.e., the two N = 1 heterotic strings and the two N = 2 superstrings, are contained in the 26-dimensional bosonic closed string theory. The latter thus appears as the fundamental string theory.
