Abstract
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 log phase, ceasing in stationary phase. The higher the concentration of ethanol in the medium, the thicker the cell wall of growing organisms. As the pH of the medium approached the limit of bacterial growth, the cell wall became thinner.
