Abstract

Cell morphology and fine structure were studied in two strains of rod-shaped, strictly anaerobic, gram-negative sulfidogenic bacteria: strain SRI 2T(DSM 12538) and strain WS100 (DSM 12537) belonging to “Dethiosulfovibriostarorussensis.” Cells of both strains, as well as cells of the type species of the genusDethiosulfovibrio, D. peptidovorans, were found to possess multiple intracellular incomplete cross septa in all growth phases.
