FINE STRUCTURE AND MECHANISM OF DIVISION OF THE 'NUCLEI' OF THE BACTERIUM Caryophanon Latum

Nature volume 157, pages 137–138 (1946)Cite this article

Abstract

THE problem of the bacterial nucleus was recently examined from two points of view ; one group advocating the doctrine of the diffuse nuclear material1,2,3,4, while the other group producing sufficient evidence in favour of the presence of a discrete nucleus5,6,7,8,9 in such bacteria as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Caryophanon, Proteus, members of the colon-typhoid group, B. mycoides. Such intracellular structures, which contain large quantities of chromatin, should be investigated with modern methods of microscopical technique.
