Pleomorphy in Stalked, Budding Bacteria

Abstract
An investigation of hyphomicrobia from manganese deposits and various fresh-water habitats revealed an astonishing degree of pleomorphy in the group. A range of variation spanning two described genera ( Hyphomicrobium and Pedomicrobium ) was induced by varying culture conditions and was further observed in natural environments. It is suggested that Pedomicrobium is an invalid genus.
