Fine structure of protoplasts and L-forms of Clostridium botulinum types A and E

G W Brown Jr et al. J Bacteriol. 1971 Mar.

Abstract

Spherical bodies, that are obtained by adding penicillin and lysozyme to Clostridium botulinum types E and A cultures which are growing in an osmotically stabilized medium, are shown to be protoplasts by electron microscopy. The L-forms of these two culture types have morphologically different inclusion bodies.
