THE FINE STRUCTURE OF DIPLOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE

A TOMASZ et al. J Cell Biol. 1964 Aug.

Abstract

The fine structure of an unencapsulated strain of Diplococcus pneumoniae is described. A striking feature of these bacteria is an intracytoplasmic membrane system which appears to be an extension of septa of dividing bacteria. The possible function of these structures and their relationship to the plasma membrane and other types of intracytoplasmic membranes found in pneumococcus is discussed.
