Some Observations on the Flaǵella and Blepharoplasts of Spirillum and Vibrio spp. (original) (raw)

Abstract

The flagella of certain large spirilla appear to be compound structures composed of a large number of individual fibres. These arise in bundles from a single blepharoplast, whereas in other bacteria each flagellum arises separately. The flagella of spirilla are thus, in some respects, intermediate between those of other bacteria and of flagellates.
