Abstract
The majority of the text of this book will be concerned with the chemistry, biochemistry and physiology of the envelopes and intracytoplasmic membranes of bacteria. As a background to this discussion, something needs to be said about the appearance and arrangement of these structures in the cell, even if this serves no other purpose than to allow people some idea of the complexity of present day aims in trying to understand the more complicated functions of bacteria, such as their ability to divide. This chapter should, however, be regarded only as a topological guide to what follows, not as a thorough review of the ultrastructure of bacteria.
