  • Title: [Ultrastructural characteristics of Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis cells differing in the capacity for swarming].
    Author: Bondarenko VM, Gosteva VV, Klitaunova NV, Zakhaleva VA, Gabidullin ZG.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1987 Jan; (1):3-6. PubMed ID: 3551413.
    Abstract:
    Specific differences in the structure of colonies and the location of microbial cells in colonies, characteristic for aggregating and nonaggregating genetically related pairs of P. vulgaris and P. mirabilis strains, have been demonstrated by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In calculating the number of flagellae per 100 outlines of microbial bodies revealed in negatively stained preparations, the fact that both aggregating and nonaggregating bacteria possess practically the same number of flagellae, on the average 4-8 flagellae per microbial cell outline, has been established. This fact indicates that the presence of flagellae in microbial cells is unrelated to their capacity for swarming.
