MORPHOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE CELL WALL OF "HIOCHI BACTERIA" WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE CHANGE OF ITS THICKNESS DUE TO GROWTH CONDITIONS

[摘要] The cell wall of "hiochi bacteria" was thicker than that of general lactic acid bacteria. Its thickness did not change in lag phase, and increased gradually in logarithmic phase, ceasing in stationary phase. Further, the higher the concentration of ethanol was in the medium, the thicker was the cell wall of growing organisms in it. As the pH of the medium approached the limit of bacterial growth, thickness of the cell wall became thinner.
