Shifrine, Moshe (University of California, Davis), Jack Pangborn, and Henry E. Adler . Colonial growth of Mycoplasma gallisepticum observed with the electron microscope. J. Bacteriol. 83: 187–192. 1962.— Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain S 6 was grown on collodion film on solid medium. Samples were removed every few hours, fixed, washed, shadowed, and observed with the electron microscope. Three distinct forms of growth were observed: elementary cells (hexagonally shaped), platycytes, and exoblasts. A tentative mode of growth was postulated. The significance of the angular morphology to the relation between mycoplasmas and L-forms of bacteria is discussed.
