Abstract
An EM examination of negatively stained preparations from cell lysates of M. xanthus and in situ samples of M. xanthus, M. virescens and M. fulvus demonstrated the presence of polar fimbriae, about 8.5 nm in diameter, on motile but not nonmotile cells.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
